CTRL_DAT

CTRL_DAT is a limited series of five phygital artworks exploring time as a key element of generative art.

Each piece generates a new composition every minute over the course of a one-year loop, creating a total of 525,600 unique compositions — one for every minute of the year.

The work combines a mechanical flip-digits display, a custom pre-coded board with a built-in unique ID, and a black steel case. Each unit produces its own distinct set of results, making every piece in the series unique.

CTRL_DAT was presented as part of the Phygital exhibition by Kate Vass Galerie in Zurich, Switzerland.
