Telar's code became self-aware and tried to escape. I built a containment unit. "Textile Bacteria" is the result.

--

The piece is based on the 1970's work of the British mathematician John Conway's "Conway's Game of Life" cellular automaton. To avoid bacteria from dying when one of the threads ends up entirely on top of the other the algorithm adds one pseudorandom artificial cross in the weaving feeding the creatures keeping at the same time the weave consistent.

  • Left-click to feed dead bacteria.
  • Use the arrow keys to flip between the face and the back of the fabric.
  • Press 'SPACE' on your keyboard to pause/play.
  • Press 'ENTER' on your keyboard to rewind.
  • Press 'F' on your keyboard to toggle between full-screen and regular view.
  • Press 'S' on your keyboard to save it as a 36 megapixels print.

Dripping Pixels: Making "The Cosmic Soup"

By yepayepayepa

Since I was a kid, the theories about the origin of The Universe have fascinated me. My friends and I released The Big Bang as our genesis collection in Emergent Properties, as a way to express the big plans we had for the platform. Since then, the idea of creating "The Cosmic Soup" has been built-in my brain. Still, it's hard to tell if I found the soup recipe or if it was the recipe the one who found me. Let me explain why.
