Fiborythm 2009

Curator: I'm struck by the quiet intensity of this image. It’s called "Fiborythm," created by Charles Bezie in 2009. Just two colours—blue rectangles floating on a black ground. The rectangles grow in size from left to right…it’s like they’re breathing, expanding outward. Editor: It has a very meditative quality, doesn’t it? Those rectangles remind me of musical notation, as though a silent melody is rising up from the depths. The title suggests a connection to the Fibonacci sequence, which is deeply embedded in natural forms. Do you see a deliberate reference, there? Curator: Absolutely. That numerical sequence is all about growth and the golden ratio, but I feel as though the piece, with its play on digital abstraction, goes beyond simple mathematical representation. It suggests growth, yes, but almost within the cold, calculating world of computers, don't you think? Is it trying to find the balance, where rhythm exists even there? It suggests to me how something quite cold, can actually represent patterns in nature. Editor: Hmm, I wonder if there's something inherently comforting in these geometric patterns; they recall, as you say, naturally occurring sequences, from the arrangement of petals to the spiral of a seashell. Those blue forms almost appear like glyphs or fragments from an ancient language. Curator: And that tension is key—language implies meaning, intention, the hand of something human in there, while pure math can be emotionally detached, despite defining the universe around us. Bezie seems interested in capturing how we project, maybe crave, stories out of even these more detached frameworks. It teases the part of me that searches for narrative in everything I see. I think it gets at something fundamental about how our brains function. Editor: I agree entirely. There's something primeval in how we seek out, or even invent patterns, from constellations in the sky to complex social behaviors, as we aim for order over the potential chaos of nothingness. "Fiborythm" really brings that inherent duality into sharp relief with its combination of hard, digital geometries with patterns sourced from life itself. Curator: Yes, it reminds us we're all pattern-seekers. Beautiful, stark… maybe this rhythm is a beat to remind us of just that, what unites everything and everybody. Editor: A starkly beautiful visualization of that constant dance between order and chaos; thought-provoking and quietly compelling.
