Collective Programming.

FR / EN

What interests me in nature, is its capacity to contain its own protocol. Take, for example, a flower seed: all these genetic characteristics (and more) are encapsulated in a standby element. I like to make the comparison with the object(s); in programming, where a machine, a program, a unit, a bit of code have to play at the required time.

But I think that to represent nature by programming is only a pretence. It is impossible, whatever the power of the computer. Something more would be needed. In any event, a computer can never reproduce space or feelings. The best algorithm, of an inconceivable complexity impossible, is already nature. It seems to me that it is better to play with the variables and the complexity which nature can offer. Like an agent which could track randoms to modify a whole.

Collective exhibition "Etats des Lieux ", at Etoile s/ Rhône(26) France, 11 -> 21 May 2006.
Project Not Realezed.
The project consists to proposing a certain numbers of varieties of standby protocols. Held in containers at the entry to the exhibition, the spectators are then invited to become actors by laying out these standby protocols in a park. Thus each actor releases the protocols and takes part in a temporal algorithmic painting, only visible from the sky, where each flower composes the pixels of an image.
