Description

The work of New Yorkbased artist Ian Cheng (born 1984) explores the nature of mutation and the capacity of humans to relate to change. Drawing on video game design, improvisation and themes of Darwinian brutality, Cheng has developed so-called live simulations, living virtual ecosystems that begin with basic programmed properties, but are left to self-evolve without authorial control or end.
