Ectogenesis
An art installation on ectogenesis system under cybernetics
This installation acts as a manifestation of an ectogenesis system where all organs and nutrients come from outside and the process of obtaining nutrients can be extremely uncomfortable. What are the nutrients? Where the nutrients come from is what we need to be more concerned about. But this sub-system is only a negligible part of a vast system.
Jiahui Cai is a Chinese interdisciplinary researcher in computational art. He holds an undergraduate degree in industrial design and his work in 2018 won the national second prize and Beijing grand prize in the National Industrial Design Innovation Competition. His current areas of research include the production of experimental musical instruments through physical computation, the use of algorithms to explore the possibilities of fractal forms, and the creation of Audio-Visual live performance inspired by the cybernetic control of groups through streaming media. He also uses machine learning to generate computational life forms, and this work was selected for The 1st Annual METAVERSE Art@VENICE.
