PixFlow #2 is a generative artwork showing a vector field and moving particles/pixels shaping into flows as their density evolves. From the mutual influence in between vectors and particles results an unsuspected, highly evolving behavior.

PixFlow #2 is running on an 'art-console', crafted by LAb[au], a T-shaped Plexiglas box, integrating 4 stripped screens and 4 networked computers. Four flash-cards containing operating system and executable file, can be easily swapped with other cards, containing future, generative artworks of LAb[au]. The console can be wall mounted, placed horizontal on a desk or on the ground, or standing vertical.
