...Once fully developed, the spiral traverses its own musical space in perpetuity.
Betha Sarasin (1930–2016) was a Swiss artist known for her diverse oeuvre, including early computer-generated algorithmic works. SPIRALPROJEKT is a generative multimedia project that was developed and prototyped in 1983 in collaboration with musician Markus Ganz (*1961) and the Fraunhofer Institute for Mechanics of Materials in Freiburg, Germany. After a hiatus of four decades, the project envisioned by the artist was finally realized and released as a long-form generative art work.
