Description




Computer simulated organisms in abstract forms display themselves on twelve monitors. Participants select an organism and consciously choose to let it continue to exist, copulate, mutate and reproduce itself by pressing sensor- equipped foot pedals located in front of the monitors. This is a work in which virtual "organisms" undergo an interactive Darwinian evolution.
