Arcade

Squadrons fly through the image one after another on loops, S-curves and circles. Formations march back and forth in steps, individual objects drop away and return.

Touching an object means hitting it: it is pushed away, fades softly and dissolves into a cloud of colour powder. Explosions carry neighbours with them like a chain reaction.

“Arcade” is part of the Farbexplosion series and can be experienced at the Ferromone family festival “Farbexplosion” at the Westfälische Salzwelten, Bad Sassendorf – on Saturday, 17 October 2026, 6 to 10 pm.

Placement in the post-digital model of positing

Squadrons, paths, formations in time: Arcade employs the strict choreography of the arcade game as a concrete order. The hit dissolves this order – the countable figure becomes a cloud of colour powder without contour, which nevertheless takes up space and thereby remains representational.
