“Sabotage pictures the constant fight of order versus chaos. It takes shape of a series of real time animations that move pixels in a simple but oddly surprising way.”

— Kim Asendorf, the opening of his SABOTAGE project description

Cargo is a series of abstract paintings created with animated pixels that are constantly moving without ever repeating. It is painting new patterns on the fly in between macro and micro compositions with a duality of different rhythms and continuous synchronicity.

Two collections are shown, and their 1,265 works are their own counts: SABOTAGE holds 265, Cargo 1,000. Volume and sales are not shown — OpenSea's statistics endpoint was unavailable throughout this build, and an unmeasured number is worse than none. Further work exists that is not counted here, because no contract could be resolved for it.

Cargo

Cargo is a series of abstract paintings created with animated pixels that are constantly moving without ever repeating.

Neither work is a picture that was finished. Both are processes left running — pixels shifting, patterns re-forming, an order that is never quite allowed to settle.

In his words

How the saboteur works

Central to the animation are various sets of patterns such as grids, lines and gradients that are arranged on the canvas to create an initial state of order. The rows start to shift to the left and right and in the middle of the canvas, the 'saboteur' is shifting pixels from the top to the bottom to manipulate the order of the patterns. The process runs endlessly and mixes pixels into new compositions while also restructuring the order on its edges.
