Cells
have evolved over time. Today they are scans of glued hair and come in lightboxes, slideshows or prints.
A light box: cells, CMYK, Glued hair, digitization, digital printing on transparent adhesive, white diffusing plexi, light box, 27 x 102 x 10 cm
Sometimes they are associated with excerpts from a computer simulation intended to reproduce the behavior of the
“BLOB”
Physarum polycephalum, unicellular species of myxomycetes of the order Physarales.
Simulation presented in the article:
“Characteristics of Pattern Formation and Evolution in Approximation of Physarum Transport Networks”, University of the West of England, Jeff Jones, 2010
Simulation interpreted by Bastien Saillant in 2021 on Unity (game engine): artificial intelligence algorithm based on multi-agent technology.
