Audio visual relationships between art and science....maybe
Eight online works in this series with generative sound system.
In his book The Blind Watchmaker, Richard Dawkins describes a computer program he wrote which randomly generates symmetrical figures from dots and lines. These figures, to a human eye, have a resemblance to a variety of objects. Dawkins calls these creations 'biomorphs', meaning life shapes or living shapes, a term he borrows from fellow zoologist Desmond Morris.
'Nothing in my biologist's intuition, nothing in my 20 years experience of programming computers, and nothing in my wildest dreams, prepared me for what actually emerged on the screen.'
I took this title 'Biomorph' as inpiration for this series, while my objective was more simply to create some form of moving automata on the screen as an online visual experience.
