Sound-Light Installation
Generative and autopoietic sound-light installation that embodies complex systems theories based on concepts and processes such as emergency and self-organization. The installation bases on models taken from various fields of science, philosophy, biology,computer science and study of the artificial intelligence (cellular automata, neural network, Cybernetics...).
The installation explores the sonic and compositional possibilities of these concepts, using a network of "modules-particles" that interact with each other and the environment.
Each “module-particle” follows simple individual rules, but is able to generate more complex and sophisticated patterns when combined with the others.
