Reviews from Resolution! 2012 of 'Algorithm':

The pleasure in watching Kai Downham and Joe Darby carve up the space in patterns of mathematical complexity, while surfing over one another's bodies is immense. Here they occupy a tight spotlight, over there a generous rectangle. Often they seem joined at the waist as they wrap around each other in acrobatic weight-sharing before rolling off a shoulder or a thigh into back-flips and leaps. All liquid grace and athletic prowess, both men are touched with the Russell Maliphant effect, but it is their symbiotic relationship which is mesmerising. How can two people be so physically in tune? A male duo at its best.

First up was Algorithm, a satisfying and methodical male duet with echoes of Russell Maliphant's work. Joe Darby and Kai Downham were nicely attuned as they carved through the space with almost mathematical precision, fluently wheeling and weaving around each other to hypnotic effect. Some beautifully executed lifts and well-judged lighting set the whole thing off nicely.

The piece began with exploring the 'Algorithm's' of a Rubix Cube and how that idea developed throughout the creative process.
