Ian cheng is a contemporary artist who uses 3d animation and Artificial Intelligence to create “live simulations” that are infinite in duration and composed of both man-made and algorithmically generated content that together produce emergent behavior and sound.

The visual aesthetics that Ian produces is very interesting because it is rigid and fine with details. Even though the visuals are very interesting the behaviors that each character produces in his “live simulations” is what is so interesting. The algorithms that Ian produces is based from the game called the “Sims” and that became the reference for his algorithms.

Ian is not the visual creator for his artwork but it is the algorithms and the program that create these visuals and sounds. The manifesto that the program creates in this artwork is significant since we are heading into a era where Artificial Intelligence is becoming dominant.
