""Ben Ridgway presents his Continuum Infinitum, a kaladeoscopic, mandala-like digital animation, played as a continuous loop. Like the worlds created by artist and set designer H.R. Giger, Ridgway’s trance-inducing experimental animation seems inspired equally by the industrial and the organic. At the center of Ridgway’s animation is a still point from which fine details emanate. Imagine watching the “star gate” sequence of Stanley Kubrick’s 2001: A Space Odyssey while inside a dome, thereby plunging you fully into the experience, and you get some idea.” -Art Ltd Magazine
