Reaction-Diffusion - Computational reaction-diffusion systems mimic chemical pattern formation in nature. A mixture of two or more chemicals that react with each other and have different diffusion rates forms macroscopic patterns in time and space of chemical concentration. The chemical mixture stays in a continual flux and therefore far from equilibrium.

to spin art history - Java Applet - (c) 2006
Small moving agents rotate around the screen and are told to construct paintings of the old masters. But as the small painting agents are bound to their inner algorithm, they have no memory, and often continue painting over their own drawing. This leads to a constant construction and destruction of the image.
It was selected as a Jury Recommended Work in the art division of the 10th Japan Media Arts Festival.
L-Garden - L-Garden Interactive Java Applet - (c) 2007
The L-Garden program is a tool for generating and evolving L-System growing rules for drawings through genetic algorithms. The execution of the rules produces commands that lead to abstract drawings and animations. Manual or automatic selection of those drawings leads to the generation of new rules through recombination and mutation.
The applet was coded with Processing.
Spycamp - Interactive Java Applet - (c) 2007
Imagine 34 people receiving the assignment of spying on each other. Not allowed to reveal their target and without knowledge about who is supposed to follow them. Spycamp interprets this scenario as a little spying ecosystem. Little figures are distributed on the screen and follow a fixed set of rules. They search, they spy, they move and they hide. Out of simple rules interesting dynamics emerge.
