‘RandomCondition(Arabidopsis)’ is an installation at the Max-Planck-Institute for Plant Breeding Research in Cologne. It is part of the group exhibition ‘Long Day Short Day’ (May – Dec 2012 with Eno Henze, Anne-Louise Hoffmann, Andreas Lorenschat, Gaby Peters, Lisa Weber).
‘RandomCondition(Arabidopsis)’ uses genetic code expressed in Red, Green, Blue and Yellow as breeding ground. I developed a series of ‘4D – totalisitc cellular automata’, that also encode into the 4 states / colors / bases of the genetic code and grow as an artifical genetic code, initialized by the natural code.
