Jon McCormack, Fifty Sisters, 2012-13. Video documentary (Episode 3). Watch the accompanying video exegesis on LEA’s Vimeo page: https://vimeo.com/67701841 Fifty Sisters is comprised of fifty 1m x 1m images of computer synthesised plant-forms, algorithmically “grown” from computer code using artificial evolution and generative grammars. Each plant-like form is derived from the primitive graphic elements of oil company logos. In this video documentary Jon McCormack discusses the work and the ideas behind its development. Episode 3 shows the exhibition of the work at the Ars Electronica Centre in Linz, Austria. The presentation includes interactive touchscreen displays that pair the generative code with each plant image that the code generates.
