Collection of the artists
SwarmDot is a generative artwork based on swarm behavior, an artificial intelligence entity featuring a collective behavior of decentralized, self-organized systems. Self-organization is a process in which the internal organization of a system increases in complexity without being guided or managed by an outside source, but on simple rules each 'agent' follows. From their mutual influence of separation, alignment and cohesion emerges an unsuspected, highly evolving behavior; dots shaping swarms of migrating lines and turbulences by following the combinatory play of numbers.
SwarmDot is running on an 'art console', a sculpture crafted by LAb[au], integrating 4 screens and 4 computers.
LAb[au] (BE) is part of the KIOSK-gallery, curated by Yves Bernard and Domenico Quaranta.
