Creative Technology Research LibrarianDyebirth
Created by Nor in Tokyo, Japan , 2017
Created by Toyko’s studio nor, dyebirth applies a psychedelic palette of water and ink in an elegant exploration of life’s biggest questions: creation, existence and inevitable death. A robotic dye-dropper hovers above a water-covered light table, its position determined by an algorithm based on the Game of Life — a “cellular automaton” invented by Cambridge mathematician John Conway in the 1970s. Between the autonomous control system and unpredictably of natural phenomenon, dyebirth’s kaledescopic patterns eventually merge in lifeless black.
