Description:


    Growing out of pioneering research in applying artificial life to “morphogenesis,” or the free-form generation of computer-animated 3D worlds, Exotica spawns a menagerie of sensuous “life forms” that flow and evolve in a geometry-warping dance. Morphogenesis brings the viewer inside the created environ-ment, providing a way to feel and be surrounded by evolving living things in a way not otherwise possible. The mutating shapes and constant movements demonstrate nature in its ever-changing state.
