Looking Outwards 5

For this week’s looking outwards blog, I looked at Andy Lomas’ Morphogenetic Creations. Presented at the Watermans Art Centre, is meant to illustrate and explore how “intricate complex structures, such as those found in nature, can be created emergently through computational simulation of growth processes.” The installation includes prints, projections and videos, and stereoscopic work. Lomas uses randomization in his algorithms in order to make his creations more complex than anything he could hard code. This also helps illustrate how small changes in the algorithm can lead to massively different outcomes.
