On exhibit at SICF12 in Tokyo and the Museum of Contemporary Art
in Hiroshima This installation was created using "Game of Life"
cellular automaton devised by John Conway to represent the
emergence of self-organizing systems. A cellular automaton is a
discrete model that consists of a regular grid of cells and
simple rules, studied in many fields including mathematics and
science. We developed this system in 3d models and tested it
across projects of various scales. The pattern that is created
by this system is a mix of order and chaos, which is similar to
natural conditions. "Game of Space" expresses the complex
phenomenon that is generated by simple rules, yet also creates
architectural forms such as slabs and arches. Since cellular
automaton is a scale-less system, we believe the system can work
in different design fields. Some different scaled figures are
located inside this installation to visualize the world that is
created by cellular automaton.
