Mutual Field

In this work, complex interactions emerge from the intersection of different artificial and natural media. A custom-developed cellular automaton divides the screen into numerous cells (unit regions), each of which updates its state according to specific rules in real time. Multiple colors corresponding to different “species” appear on the screen, each proliferating, coexisting, and being eliminated according to diverse rule sets. The work incorporates a mechanism that detects the level of human activity in its surrounding environment, reflecting this data dynamically in the parameters of the cellular automaton. Through the entangled interactions of artificial and natural systems, the work generates an autonomous and ever-changing dynamic as a whole.
