“Piyut Coding” series by Lilia Chak
“Yah Ribon Coding”
is based on the words of the famous Shabbat hymn of the Rabbi Israel ben Moses Najara.
The movement of the words creates a unique choreography each time it is launched.
Each verse of this hymn begins with a Hebrew letter that forms an ACROSTIC - the word ISRAEL.
Red strings connect the letters of the ACROSTIC and “draw” a complex graphic system reminiscent of transparent crystals.
"Yah Ribon Coding” relates to the Generative art. Thus, each animation scene is unique and exists only in a single copy.
The work is the result of the code run and does not imply the preservation of an unchanged image or video.
The work code was written by programmer Alex Chak.
