(5) Poiesis: A real-time generative artwork w/ FutureDeluxe
How might we design and construct a cinematic model of the cosmos that can be displayed as an ambient and ever-changing generative artwork?
‘Poiesis’ is a privately commissioned real-time generative portal to a dynamically simulated universe. The work is site specific. Viewers of the artwork glimpse unique parts of the cosmos that are generated on the fly exclusively for that moment; from alien worlds to planetary systems, black holes to nebulae and star clusters.
The artwork is designed to generate upwards of 2,147,483,648 possible unique cinematic journeys, from nebula to landscape. In order to see all of the possible combinations it would take 122,491.987 years.
