Garden of Forking Paths by Timon Bohn is an art installation featuring a matrix of custom printed circuit boards that illustrate the relationship between electrical resistance and heat. The installation’s dendritic maze mimics natural forms like rivers. This delicately balanced structure influences both heat and resistance. A thermochromic surface offers varying visibility within the maze depending on temperature, creating an engaging and transformative experience. The project's technical foundation includes algorithms and hardware that enhance heat control, fostering contemplation on themes of growth and complexity.
Created by Timon Bohn, Garden of Forking Paths is an installation comprised of a matrix of custom printed circuit boards that make use of the physical connection between electrical resistance and heat.
Designed algorithmically, the dendritic maze reproduces naturally occurring structures, reminding of meandering rivers or winding surfaces found in organic life.
The result is a fluid display that reveals and hides, transforms constantly and invites contemplation on growth and entanglement.
For the installation, Pulse Width Modulation is used in order to have a more nuanced control over the heat dissipation.
