CIRCUITs (2026)

Unlimited durationSingle channel / Colour / Sound

CIRCUITs is an interactive moving-image work by Novak that turns CIRCUIT as an organisation into a living solar system. At its centre sits CIRCUIT itself, a glowing sun. Around it orbit 221 artists as planets, each ringed by the moving-image works they have made, more than a thousand of them, all free to stream on CIRCUIT's website. Every small ring keeps time with a real work, filling and completing at its true length, so the whole field pulses and chimes as pieces come round. You can drift through it, spin it, and reach into any point of light to see the artist and work it belongs to. It is a portrait of scale: proof of how much one small organisation has held up, and an invitation to help keep it alive and growing.
