Abstract:
Beauty is a machine-microbial artwork that features a bio-driven artificial intelligence system that remediates a contaminated soil ecology while generating an audio-visual composition in real time. Foregrounding processes of renewal and emergence via a systems-based approach, Beauty addresses timely and relevant issues by establishing a unique interplay between machine and microorganisms.
