Pond Life II is a long term collaboration between myself and boy wonder Patrick Sanan. It’s currently being set up in Montreal as part of ICMC 2009!

The setup!

And the description:

PondLife. An audiovisual laboratory. This is an ever-evolving environment which you are invited to experiment with. Adjust the light and nutrient levels to promote or destroy creatures. Watch the system grow and evolve, or stick your hand in to stir things up!

The work combines a wide range of technologies and aesthetics to create a unique and captivating environment. Fluid simulation, sound and motion sensing, genetic algorithms, a unique setup, and carefully crafted sounds and visual elements come together to create a piece which allows the audience to watch and intervene in the evolution of a small society of abstract microbes which grow, hunt, mutate, and crossbreed to generate subtle and surprising variations on the visual and aural scene.
