4+1 Elements of Resonance

Study · Sound, light, space, matter and time

Sound, light, space and matter are arranged around an absent centre: time as the interval through which the other elements become perceptible.

ON THE WORKBENCH

Ideas become forms.

SCARABAEUS moves between media. A question may begin as a drawing, become a book, find a voice in sound or open into a film, room or shared experience.

A VISUAL PROPOSITION

Time, drawn as a field.

Scarab–Cikada arranges dates, symbols and relations into a speculative image. It is an artwork and a lens—not a universal history, proof or prediction.

THE MAKER

THOOTH

The artistic alter ego of Thomas K. R. Hofmann.

SCARABAEUS 1033 is its workshop: a place where symbols, images, codes and speculative structures can be made before they are explained.

ONE FIELD · TWO TEMPERATURES

NEXAH brings the work into daylight.

NEXAH is the public laboratory developing Orientation. SCARABAEUS 1033 is a darker visual workshop within the same field—where symbols and speculative forms can emerge before they enter research, language or application.
