Project Description:
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. Supported by the Canadian Council for the Arts, and presented in partnership with the Scotiabank CONTACT Photography Festival.
