Slime mold reality

Bill (BiCheng) Zhou (CN)

This art piece combines virtual and biological spaces. The Physarum polycephalum (slime mold) is a superorganism that consists of a large number of single cells, and just like the ocean in Stanislaw Lem's novel Solaris, it has intelligence, it senses the environment, it remembers external stimulus and it can change the reality of those who interact with it.

S>A<S

Bill (BiCheng) Zhou (CN)

This artwork investigates the interactivity between living organisms and electronic sound / vision systems in the form of a social drama between three ant colonies. How could some simple units work together to show the complexity of ant behavior? How could electronic systems be integrated into living ant colonies? How could humans sense this complexity?

Noise Eater is a kinetic art piece exploring the poetics of noise electronics and the human condition. The installation allows the participants as well as the art piece itself to consume noise, generate noise and provide an aesthetic experiment consisting of electronics, exploring concepts of humanity and nature.
