Swiss Remake, Art Clay 2007

The Swiss ReMake Project is a public art project developed for the 3d NOVA screen located in the Zurich main train station. The project concerns itself with creating public understanding for technology through a concept that combines the immediacy of public art with the political content of social sculpture. The project runs on a computer application that takes the national flag of Switzerland and redesigns it through algorithmic variations. The variations created interesting permutations easily recognized as being related to the original pattern; they are accompanied by a series of profound quotes from artists and scientists on the importance of cultural adaptation and changing tradition- a common fact in art and scientific research. The original Swiss flag occasionally reappears between variations, underscoring the relationship between tradition and cultural adaptation. The project is greeted by one hundred thousand visitors per day and has been come a popular sight in the train station during rush hours.
