The Algorithmic Beauty of Plants by Przemyslaw Prusinkiewicz and Aristid Lindenmayer
Exhibited by Evergreen Brick Works, supported by Canada Council for the Arts and presented in partnership with Scotiabank CONTACT Photography Festival.
Natures Algorithm (naturesalgorithm.xyz + Digital Holography) 2023
Nature’s Algorithm comes to life in two ways, exploring time, space, and memory through digitally generated holograms presented in an indoor installation at Evergreen Brick Works, and in a online WebGL simulation that can be experienced on naturesalgorithm.xyz. This world reveals the mathematical algorithm underlying plant life, resurrecting forgotten flora and species existing on the grounds of the Evergreen Brick Works, imagining a diverse future ecosystem. Our eyes cannot see nature's soul, but only its fingerprints. Using art and technology, a WebGL simulation and a series of four luminous holograms showcase environmental ecology, connecting the human-made world to the organic, geometric marvels that inspire it.
