Crossing is about a random network of pure black and white trajectories whose occasional collisions suggest a possible topography. It's an action of writing and erasing at the same time; a form of appearance and disappearance.

The piece is consists of computer generated projection and prints. The grid animation is generated in real-time by a computer, and is based on a set of simple rules that create complex structures. It consist of abstract lines in motion that organic-like architecture challenge our perception of space, time and boundaries. 

"The inhabited grid has become an irreducible sign of the world we live in. From our morning commutes-whether in a car moving along a highway, a high-speed train on a magnetic rail, or a walk through city streets-all the way to the last check of our e-mails at night, we operate in an overlapping network of grids. In both obvious and hidden ways, these grids order our movements, work, thoughts, leisure time, and even our dreams”   -- Dan Cameron, New Museum
