« Emergilience, an Art Research Project » par Sophie Lavaud publié dans l’ouvrage papier « Mathematics in the Visual arts » sous la direction de Ruth Scheps et Marie-Christine Maurel, paru chez l’éditeur ISTE – Wiley, London. 09 Décembre 2020.
Abstract :
The artistic project Emergilience intend to explore the conditions for shape emergence due to self-organised phenomena. To do that, we start from computer models modeling biological studied behaviors such as for instance, Predator-Prey interactions to watch the system being self-organized in a process of temporal evolution and finally stabilized by acquiring new properties. The use of modeling processes makes possible the exploration of a range of individual and local behaviors rules leading to the emergence of collective and global phenomena reporting on more or less stable relational states. Afterwards, internal disturbances are generated which allow to test how is the resilience capacity of the system. The visualization is made by the means of 2D computer graphics animations considered as preparatory sketches for a more accomplished work in the form of digital « dynamic painting-systems », robotic sculptures, light projections or performances.
