I had an idea of all the gear wheels flying away from a central point, as in the Big Bang creating the deterministic universe. I built this using chickenwire strips to form a sphere and then strung the gearwheels within and around the sphere using lengths of coloured wire (representing the fundamental forces holding the universe together). Filming the structure while spinning, replaying it using an iterated 360° mode and then reversing that view led to a serendipitous ‘Big Bang’ film.
