[phylum] Projects
Beauty
Beauty is a hybrid biological-technological installation featuring a bio-driven artificial intelligence system that remediates a contaminated soil ecology while generating an audio-visual composition in real-time. The work creates a situation where the fates of the contaminated soil and a group of bacterial cultures are determined by artificial intelligence that develops an internal model of "beauty".

Compositional Agents
Compositional Agents investigates contour classification and optical flow cluster analysis of swarms, classification of patterns, or just live images presented to a generative model to make growth predictions. These classifications are sent to a multi-agent system (or time-series) that makes compositional decisions based on the data received from the bacteria. More Information
Morphologies
[phylum] is currently conducting research at the Coalesce Center for Biological Art at the University at Buffalo. During the residency, the artists will develop a new project titled Beauty that includes bacterial culturing, synthetic biology, microscopy and digital imaging, fabrication, and soil remediation.
