Flat Works

The Flat Works extend Julius Niemeyer’s investigation of systems and processes into two-dimensional formats. Operating as analytical surfaces, these works translate complex structures—such as vector fields, gradients, decay functions, and network logics—into graphical, diagrammatic, and material compositions. Rather than serving as representations, the works function as operative models that condense spatial, temporal, and relational information. Through seriality, modulation, and rule-based variation, the Flat Works examine how systemic behaviors can be abstracted, stabilized, or disrupted within controlled parameters, positioning the image plane as a site of research, notation, and critical observation.
