Peek through the Peaks.
An uncomfortable departure from perfect symmetry.

From the series Atoll of Diffraction - digital art inspired by and based on physics. Diffraction patterns are mounted on cylindrical screens, emanating from two imaginary diffraction gratings, positioned back-to-back in the center.

These structures embody a cross-over of what you see with your eyes - colors and peaks of different intensity - and what exact mathematical calculations yield: diffraction curves for gratings with a few slits, weighted according to the intensity of the blackbody radiation of the sun.

The Atoll of Diffraction is floating in a no man's sea between science and art. It is built from plain lines without thickness or depth on purpose, evoking memories of sober scientific illustrations. Yet, these innocuous lines cause chaos and induce impossible shadows, patterns, artefacts.

Two twisted ribbons, flapping and flopping along semi-circles, are glued together to form a virtual coral atoll. Voyagers are orbiting the atoll, flying above it, diving underneath it. They recognize foreign worlds.

elkement is crafting virtual sculptures with code (no AI!) and with pencils - structures based on mathematical functions. Her art is based on and inspired by physics, engineering, and tech. Inspired by the aesthetics of vintage patent drawings and by Sir Roger Penrose’s handcrafted sketches, elkement is searching for the nexus of science and art.

elkement enjoys spotting the uncanny in the allegedly simple and mundane. Having created virtual three-dimensional structures with code, she is always searching for an unusual perspective to challenge preconceived notions. She often juxtaposes her visual art with her Found Poetry when she presents her art (at elkement.art).

Recurring motifs in elkement's digital art are diffraction patterns. Since early childhood, elkement had been fascinated by the pure spectral colors of the rainbow and by the physics underlying their creation. Forming structures from diffraction patterns that are both based on exact math and that resemble the patterns you actually see encapsulates the beauty of the phenomena as everybody can experience them, as well as the beauty of the underlying math. 

elkement is a physicist by training who fondly re her high school classes in descriptive geometry and fine art.

This gallery profile was in March 2022. Profits for artworks created in 2022 go to Ukraine aid - to 'Cards for Ukraine' - a small, transparent organization helping Ukrainian refugees in Austria.
