コンピュータグラフィックスに使用される数式プログラムを遺伝子に見立て、 遺伝的アルゴリズムによって多様なパターンを作り出すという、種の多様性そのものを映像として見る新しい表現を実現した作品。 本作品では、作品自体がシェーダープログラムを記述する仕組みを持つことによって、グリッド状に大量の映像が描かれる。 各映像の数式は遺伝的アルゴリズムによって変化し、交雑されることでランダムに少しずつ異なる数式が生成される。 そのため、解釈されレンダリングされた映像は全体として似た性質を持ちながら、それぞれ違った模様を見せる。 アニメーションはそれぞれ個性を持つが、それは意図して進化したものではなく、ランダムもしくは淘汰された結果に過ぎない。 人の手によって記述されるプログラムを離れ、数式を遺伝子にもった映像によって、映像に生命のもつ複雑性をインストールすることを試みた。 The personality of living things is beautiful. Is it possible to have a personality in the digital world? This is a video work that produces animation by recognizing shader programs as genes and by changing the mathematical expression itself using evolutionary computation. The shader program that I used to generate this video is a coding language that has been widely used by people as a method of CG, VJ, and live coding. For this work, the work itself is a mechanism for describing the shader programs, and in this way, a large number of images can be displayed in grid form. The mathematical formula for each image is controlled by genetic algorithms, and slightly different formulas are randomly generated. Each animation has its own personality and rather than being intentionally generated, they are random or selected results. This is the work of the evolution of a living thing itself. Mathematical formulas like genes now move like artificial life. I tried to see the beauty in the diversity of seeds, of a place beyond human society, in a future where everything is computerized. 2019年制作 水落 大 (https://mizumasa.net/)

The personality of living things is beautiful. Is it possible to have a personality in the digital world? This is a work that realizes a new expression that looks at the diversity of life itself as an image, in which the mathematical program used in computer graphics is regarded as a gene in the image and various patterns are created by rearranging the equation itself. For this work, the work itself is a mechanism for describing the programs, and in this way, a large number of images can be displayed in grid form. The mathematical formula for each image is controlled by genetic algorithms, and slightly different formulas are randomly generated. Each animation has its own personality and rather than being intentionally generated, they are random or selected results. This is the work of the evolution of a living thing itself. Mathematical formulas like genes now move like artificial life. I made a three-dimensional video that tries to install the complexity of life into the video.

GLSL (OpenGL Shading Language) is a shading language based on C language. In recent years, it has been used for 3D video rendering and video performance such as LiveCoding. Among them, a program called a fragment shader specializes in performing a shadow calculation in units of pixels and consists of equations for calculating each value of RGBA. An attempt was made to model the expressions that make up the fragment shader as a structural tree and generate them automatically. Using the generated images, I created a cubic display using digital cells with mathematical expressions as genes. I assembled a Chinese plywood frame using a laser cutter and fitted a display.
