Thixocymatics

Studio Aldo Brinkhoff
Thixocymatics is a kinetic sculpture that explores the fragile boundary between order and collapse. The work was created through a collaboration between an artist and a scientist. Using tools from the construction industry, specifically formwork materials, the artist developed an instrument that precisely manipulates a block of thixotropic calcium. Rather than forming stable patterns, the material resists predictability: it slowly shifts and continuously reshapes itself into an evolving, unstable landscape.This project was realized in collaboration with Dr. Eduardo Mendes, Associate Professor at TU Delft, where his research focuses on Functional Soft Matter. It is part of the residency Crossing Parallels at TU Delft and was made possible with the support of Amarte Fonds and Cultuurfonds.

The Amarte Foundation was founded by a number of individuals and their families who share a deep love for the arts. They wish to support the development of creatives and talent in arts and culture by providing financial means and where possible coaching, knowledge and experience. Artists who are active in the cultural sectors of the Netherlands or the ABC and SSS islands (the Caribbean part of the Kingdom of the Netherlands) can apply to Amarte for the support of projects in the field of theatre, film, music, visual arts and literature, as well as interdisciplinary projects.
