LifeForm Artificial life has been an interesting field of research since the early seventies Interactive Art
LifeForm • Building block: agent
LifeForm • Building block: agent • World: grid (toroidal or flat)
LifeForm • Agents have different behaviour properties: • Persistence • Sociability • Ignorance
LifeForm • Behaviour properties can vary in strength • Behavioural properties determine the behaviour of individual agents and behaviour between other agents which causes complex collective behaviour to emerge
LifeForm • Passive and active infrared sensors are used with a MuVium microcontroller • Behaviour properties can be influenced by actions of the spectator making it an interactive work of art
