Cyclic Entropy // BDES1026

A gradual decline into disorder

The brief was to create a model base of the movement of a kite. Mapping the movement of my kite revealed that the overall motion was an amalgamation of both its erratic flight in the wind, and its descent into disordered rotation.
The term ‘cyclic entropy’ attempts to encapsulate both these aspects. The model uses geometric, regular components, combining them in an organic, disordered manner, in order to represent the forms created through the analysis of my kite’s movement.
The notion that the kite’s movement increasingly leads to disorder and erraticism is a reflection on the idea of entropy across all scales. Defined as a gradual decline into disorder, entropy shows that the natural state of everything in this world is disordered, and this analysis of my kite’s motion illustrates this.
