(un)shaped

Takayuki Hirai (JP), Yasuaki Kakehi (JP)

This installation utilizes antibubbles in water as a medium. Through computationally controlled droplets, the antibubbles form various patterns on the water’s surface. Then they start to float in the water and disappear after a while. These periodic phenomena shows continuous morphing from computationally controlled forms to organic ones mediated by the environment.

I, HUMAN

SAINT MACHINE (RO)

I, HUMAN uses empathy as content to influence the feeding conditions of microorganisms, and light as content carrier. Developed around the idea of interconnectivity, it analyzes how individual interactions can produce collective outcomes at different scales. I, HUMAN is testing new models of synergistic behavior mediated by technology in an attempt to identify coherence patterns, a metaphor for our evolution as a species, which may depend on our capacity to empathize.

Proelium
