Gen., Machina is a generative artwork exploring life.

Life, created by winds blowing across a surface producing self-replicating patterns, gradually turning into little machines.

Using Stephen Wolfram's approach to Cellular Automaton we explore how the environment can effect changes in structures and create self-replicating patterns.

We explore what happens when we change the rules of Cellular Automaton and what different patterns and effects this might have.

In rare cases we explore Conway's Game of Life algorithm to create another view of cellular evolution.
