COMPLEXITY: RIYADH. 2025

Complexity is a series of digital artworks that use custom software to transform city maps into living, ever-changing visuals. Each piece continuously reorganizes the layout of a city—its streets, buildings, and patterns—creating new forms that shift and evolve in real time.

The result is a generative artwork that behaves almost like fabric, weaving the familiar landscape into something abstract and dynamic. What you see on screen is never quite the same—millions of unique variations unfold as the software runs.

Designed for gallery projection or screen display, each version of Complexity is based on a different city, including London, New York, Berlin, Tokyo, and many more. Every city becomes its own artwork, reshaped through the lens of code and creativity.

This is available for exhibitions.....can be shown on screen or projectors.

First made By Stanza (2006). For the other 17 cities see https://stanza.co.uk/complexity/index.html

If you want to exhibit this artwork as an installation please email . A whole gallery full of all the 17 cities would look great.
