About Energy Flow
A filmic dream rush of paintings in motion: Energy Flow is an immersive film experience that is unique every time it is played, exploring the complexity of how things are connected in our lives today - the fragile equilibrium between physical, political, and cultural tensions.
Update coming 17/12/12: Includes higher resolution streaming and Nexus 7 performance improvements.

EXPERIENCE

Throw and steer a spintop across the gameboard to trigger the number it all starts with; your Seed Number for Energy Flow. The number takes you into into a loop of film experiences of 1-5min duration, with stunning animations and unique soundtracks from experimental electronica to classical sounds.
* 10 Stories – 1000 unique Films
* A new kind of digital storytelling
* Stunning paintings in motion, unique generative soundtracks
* Behind the Scenes, Making-of Footage and Interviews

ENERGY FLOW
-------------------
Never before has our world been shaken up by such a multiplicity of fundamental shifts: from the Arab Spring to the London Riots, from the financial crisis to the groundbreaking research at CERN institute. With Energy Flow, FIELD presents a close-up study of 10 animated stories inspired by these shifts.
Energy Flow observes the instinct-driven movements of wild animals; a memory of anarchy and chaos on our streets; games of chance symbolising the mathematical chaos that holds our universe together; and much more. The lush and powerful animations pay tribute to contemporary painting as well as the new aesthetic of today's science and technology.
-------------------------------------------------------------
DIGITAL STORYTELLING - ALGORITHMIC FILMS AND MUSIC
-------------------------------------------------------------
The bespoke algorithmic system of Energy Flow interlinks the stories into countless unique film experiences. From a quick dream rush to a meditative impression, each iteration of Energy Flow presents a different abstract narrative full of crosslinks and connotations; reflecting that there is never just one perspective on our complex world.
FIELD collaborated with German sound artist David Kamp to drive the sound and music composition from the same system, creating a one-off soundtrack blending experimental electronica with classical instruments for each iteration of Energy Flow.

This is intriguing, but the videos are unwatchable due to the stuttering. I find it odd that someone has gone to the effort of putting together what is otherwise a quality package, Yet apparently does nothing in response to the comments here. l've kept this for some time hoping for an update that would fix the problem, but time is up, and it's getting deleted.

Works great on my tablet! Very cool how you can choose an infinite number by spinning and see what you get! Makes you look at reality differently,Love it

I find the app impressive.. But.. I have to say.. Watching the films it produces is very much like watching the "video" in the movie "The Ring". Leaves you feeling kinda strange possibly even disturbed.

...if you tend to blink a lot. The video lag betrays the high quality renderings.

Was looking forward to this but the videos lag. I am on WiFi using Sony Xperia Z Ultra. Fix the lag I give it 5*

Spun the top 10 times with different number results and spin times, never saw a video, only asked to spin again.

After you watch a few videos you just feel weird. You don't know what to really think.

Wow, this is truly a piece of art. Found by "accident" and have been spinning the top since. Very surreal, dreamy, trippy. Beautifully done. Thank you

Disjointed series of videos. Interesting concept, but needs better execution. You can get better results by going to YouTube and watching Farbrausch or Aiur videos. Or any others that have great music synced to excellent CG video.

It spins but no vids and no feedback seen from devs. Developers probably meditating instead of fixing app. Ohmmmmmmmmmmm!

Nice techie art show. I don' t like the short pausing lags that seem to happen throughout.

Maybe I am too literal. This is supposed to be 10 stories but I havn't found one. Lots of interesting images synced to music. App stops frequently but this may be due to my slow Internet connection. The interface needs work. At the end of a section the screen goes black and stays black. You have to hit the back button where you are given the option to continue. Hitting the back button gets you to play. Tapping it a third time exits the app. Not very elegant.

I've only "spun" through a few, but vivid and inventive they were....I'll give it five stars if, while watching, I'm moved to experiencing, which means they've got me emotionally.

Can't say, I experienced any of the effects claimed by the producers or the comments. Still, who knows :) maybe it works for you. On the other hand, nice implementation, absolutely nice work.

Thank you for making this! Cant find more CERN stuff as of late as I'm no physicist, - Just a dreamer wanting more & this app is an ideal step closer to the answer. Unquestionably beautiful transmedia experience of Earth's collective conscience in a world that seems to have lost it's mind, this is syncopated Solace. A bright Ray of hope in a honey boo-boob society

Its really beautiful and it works nice though a bit of a lag and the definition can be better, im on a tablet so...but still beautiful! Nice work

Cool concept but not polished. App lags on GS3 and screen keeps going off from my default setting. Spent a 10 mins trying it to see how the story changed but didn't even see a story... fix problems and I'll try again.

The beautiful and colorful videos are uplifting. I like it. Laggy playback and screen shutting off all the time are the only things preventing me from rating it 5 stars
Q

by Q####:
Laggy, problem with touch targets not where I expect it, also screen goes off so I have to touch and the difficult to resume. I only managed to watch one before freeze. Makes me curious but super frustrated.
Q

by Q####:
This app has potential but it's super laggy and my display will shut off while watching it but if I keep tapping the screen to keep the display on it will pause, hopefully these issues can be fixed. Especially the lagginess.

Surreal in its scope, time was spent on this, no pun intended.
by T####:
Something as simple as spinning a top sounds easy but after about 20 spins and no numbers come up....... I'm fed up with the lag it takes to get to the spin screen, and I'm running a nexus 10! Graphics look great from what little I have seen. A simple user interface guide or a "how not to waste a few hours" guide would be great.
