Random Check is a cyclical arts project realised by two universities, brought to life thanks to the creative collaborations of students, doctoral students, and teachers of the K. Lipiński Academy of Music and the E. Geppert Academy of Fine Arts in Wrocław. Between 2020 and 2024, the consecutive editions of the Random Check project were hosted by numerous contemporary music and media art festivals: Sacrum Profanum, Audio Art, Musica Polonica Nova, Media Art Biennale WRO, Warsaw Autumn, and in the form of a multimedia installation also in the Four Domes Pavilion of the Museum of Contemporary Art in Wrocław. A special highlight of this edition of the project, emphasising its academic dimension, is the participation, as creators, of Their Magnificences Rectors of both collaborating universities: Prof Krystian Kiełb and Prof Wojciech Pukocz. Dr Ewelina Ciszewska has also participated in the composition authored by both gentlemen. Ewelina Ciszewska is Deputy Rector for the Wrocław Division of the Stanisław Wyspiański Academy of Theatre Arts.
Random Check 7: Time Crystals draws inspiration from the fascinating concept of time crystals developed by Frank Wilczek. These are unique physical structures that challenge traditional ideas about the stability of matter in time. These systems, being in a state of minimal energy, are simultaneously in periodic motion, which means that their properties change in cycles over time without an external energy supply.
The multimedia installation Time Crystals invites viewers to enter an immersive space where sound, image and light coexist in constant motion, and twelve audiovisual compositions co-create a dynamic, modular system.
