Assembly-Relativistic

Relativistic art chases after the idea of providing different meaning to different people from the same piece of artwork.

Assembly-Relativistic artwork is the branch of Relativistic artwork that comes from The Magnetic Assembly. It largely differs from conventional Relativistic artwork in that it is intended for view by humans and human-cyborgs.

Typically this artwork will use images and colors that are seen differently by the human eye and electronic optics. This can take the form of simple patterns like QR codes to provide a different image to an electronic viewer than a human viewer, or through advanced use of colors and patterns in the infrared or ultraviolet to paint pictures with colors imperceptible to the human eye. Often this is used to create images that have a neutral or otherwise generally pleasant look to humans, but contain hidden meaning when viewed through the electronic eye.

This is often pair'd with cutting edge or futuristic/sleek looking shapes or minimalist layouts to further emphasize the cutting edge nature of the artwork.

History

Relativistic artwork had existed since at least the late 1900s with artists starting to play with the idea of a single piece of art being able to express multiple concepts based on how it is viewed. It wouldn't be until the 2200s that Relativistic artwork would break into the mainstream as a greater number of humans would start to either use cybernetic eyes or incorporate various augmented reality systems into their day to day lives.

The increasingly cybernetic Magnetic Assembly would start to push this art to the forefront. This would partially be for practical reasons, as additional information could be conveyed to members of The Magnetic Assembly through such artwork that would remain hidden to conventional humans. However by the 2300s this type of artwork was mostly seen in pieces that glorified or documented the history of The Magnetic Assembly with little concern for what the conventional humans might see.
