Self Organization of vertical magnetic dipoles floating on water.
The regular checker-board pattern is disassembled in the beginning by sorting the dipoles in a vertical magetic field with a horizontal gradient.
When the field is reversed (to a lower amplitude) the dipoles mix again, forming again the alternating pattern.

What do ice wedge networks, meandering rivers, sorted patterned ground, beach cusps, sand dunes, and humans have in common?
All are examples of complexity emerging over time from stochastic processes that are selected for via feedback mechansisms.

This is a story of the process of dereliction of a large housing estate. The place is the cohab Rubem Berta, in Porto Alegre, Brazil. Ironically, this degrading process ends up being the opportunity for a rather positive spacial, social and economic transformation. This film is a tribute to peoples capacity of self-organization.
