Tatiana Plakhova – Complexity Graphics

Tatiana Plakhova creates scientific graphics which she’s coined the style “complexity graphics” I really like hoow she interprets information in her work so you can see the history of research she’s undertaken. However when I first saw her work I was intimidated by its “complexity” which is why I’d make the the main result more prominant than the research and planning.

I like how this piece of work centres around one point showing a source.

All of these contain rotational symmetry showing an even amplification structure.

I like that this one looks a lot simpler but if you look closer you can see a set of angles and workings. I like how they blend in with the final structure.

Knowing the above you can really see the detection of sound being displayed in the music is math series.

It’s funny that the work based around chaos is made up of circular shapes, though understandable it is quite odd as a circle seems such a neat shape. Although the picture above indicates a contained chaos as the blue centre looks quite disorganised however it resembles the lorenz attractor.

Looking at the electromagnetic spectrum these in a not specifically related way show the stationary and inflationary nature of the universe.

I like how these look more organic, more like paintings. Mixing classical and modern approaches in her work.

The Old Abstracts series are definitely my favourite of her work as it shows the construction of her pictures but not in a way that’s over powering the main form. This takes a more classical form hence the name Old Abstracts, this also may be why they are more simplified, hence Abstracts.

This is my favourite. It displays blueshift; the positive high vibration out of the two. It looks like an explosion of chaos.

Flowers in Chaos

You can see the amplification of chaos in these pictures as the begin ata a point and grow from there much like a flower. The metaphor flower is clever.

Red

Thes hold more negative, low vibrations of red shift That may be why these don’t spark the same feeling as the blue ones do. The low vibrations may be why these seem to appear to me a lot simpler that her other work.
