Primordial Dance – United States

Experimental animation containing a progression of abstract textures and colors. It is a study of emerging and transforming mathematical equations. These effects were created using an interactive process of “artificial evolution.” The equations, or artificial genes, of the survivors are copied, mutated, and mated by the computer to generate new offspring pictures. Finally, movements are created by performing “genetic interpolations” between these evolved images.
