Liquid Strata is a digital and physical installation that attempts to create a "fly on the wall" experience through an artificial life simulation of the aquatic phenomena known as the 'marine snow'.

Created by Daito Manabe, Continuum Resonance is an installation where autonomous artworks installed in each space of "VS" interact with each other by sharing mathematical algorithms, music programming, and 3D architectural data.

Hyperthread explores the aesthetics of parametric chip design through the lens of the Jacquard Loom. It is based on public domain microchips and emulators that perform different functions such as a cryptographic key generator, a general purpose CPU or a simple flipflop (the fundamental building blocks of a microchip).

Created by Julius von Bismarck & Benjamin Maus, Round About Four Dimensions sculpture represents a “hypercube”, “four-cube” or “tesseract”, often cited in mathematical and physical theories to illustrate concepts beyond three spatial dimensions.

Imagined as a tool to provide assistance to a conventional approach to sculpting, here an AI model is developed to seek out strategies that provide a constant improvement to how a given form is achieved. By feeding it with different tools, rules and rewards through reinforcement learning, the team steer the process revealing unpredictable outcomes.

Created by Ralf Baecker, Putting The Pieces Back Together Again is an artistic investigation and meditation about complex systems and scientific methodology. Consisting of 1250 stepper motors arranged in a two dimensional grid, each motor in the installation moves in a random direction, sometimes intersecting and reversing direction, producing e...

Gysin-Vanetti (Andreas Gysin & Sidi Vanetti) are an artist duo exploring images and patterns using the type geometries of multipurpose displays. What characterises the projects shown here is that their intention is to not modify the layout (or visual organisation) of the chosen hardware – they work with what the existing has to offer. Within the...

CAN goes in-depth with the Paris-based 'anticipatory' design studio N O R M A L S to learn about their forthcoming dark, dense, and dizzying graphic novel series. Working process, representational techniques (that bridge illustration and code), and a critical reading of contemporary design fiction.

The book Visual Complexity: Mapping Patterns of Information is Manuel's voyage of trying reveal patterns that exists amongst designers, researches and scientist that employ innovative mixes of colour, symbols, graphics, algorithms and interactivity in a attempt to clarify and often beautifully, what would otherwise be a clutter of data.
