Geregelter Zufall / Hans Polterauer
According to Hans Polterauer (AT), our existence is played out at the nexus of chaos and order. Thus, what initially appears to be a swarm of insects darting and looping about without ever alighting on one spot turns out, upon closer inspection, to be an array of wires responding to the attractive force of a circling magnet. The magnet moves uniformly, but produces seemingly chaotic movements—seemingly, since, amidst this disarray, order nevertheless prevails and the wires describe a perfect circle.
