Growing Creativity and Artificial Landscapes

02.10.2020

Informational processes are at the basis of what humans can do, in terms of their insertion into the landscape of the living. It is the understanding of the process of the emergence of life through the information of a set of bio-inspired computational simulations, connected to each other, and a set of living tissues and cell fusion linked through the extended body. Examples of this can be found in Catts and Zurr (2006) or in Joël de Rosnay's (1996) idea of the cybiont. These assemblages form artificial landscapes. In them, ideas have been constructed synthetically and interact with each other, in an indeterminate state between image and life, organism and ecosystem.
