I learn and explore the laws of the
universe and primordial soup from everyday life.
Late one night, I had an idea while
cooking a pot of noodles: Could the process of heating and evaporating water simulate
the birth and death of stars? Galaxies are mainly composed of hydrogen and
oxygen, and stars form after the collapse of a molecular cloud, converting
their potential energy into thermal energy. The phase change of water molecules
can thus be linked to the imagination of stellar-scale energy conversion and
morphological changes. From molecular change to planet generation, from an
individual pixel to an overall image, there may be a similar set of laws.
"Stochastic Camera (version 0.3)
- the boiling terra "intends to apply these computer science studies on
tissue texture to produce landscape images where a planet appears capable of
self-growth and self-repair. Recording the process of boiling water with an
infrared thermal imager and running neural cellular automata on flat images,
the work generates hypsometric maps and stellar spectra to explore immortal
stars from everyday details.
