Description
A work using simulated recombinant genetic algorithms. The piece used two live computed image sources for two of the monitors, one prerecorded computer animated sequence and two live video feeds from surveilance camera's installed in the space. A slide projection of a grid over the entire space allowed the computers to see the viewers in 3D and to use this information to help control the work.
