Created as an internal simulator for “Interface Prototype for Different Natures,” exhibited in “Surprisingly Heartful,” the third installment of the 8th KUMA EXPERIMENT, a group exhibition by KUMA Foundation grantees.
Based on an artificial ecosystem simulator that uses GPGPU technology to calculate the real-time interactions of large numbers of artificial life forms, it was designed to create a space in which artificial life living in computational space and humans (viewers) living in physical space could interact on equal terms. To that end, I built a system using hardware and sensors that enabled both sides to interact spontaneously with one another.
From the perspective of the video work itself, I also incorporated expressions such as the surface of a liquid, exploring ways to make the boundary feel less apparent when exhibited on a touch display.
