Random Seed – Boredom Research

Boredomresearch have made available an online version of their randomSeed piece where ‘machine heads’, obeying Cellular Automata rule-sets, leave a trace of their wanderings. ‘Machine heads’ acting as autonomous creatures change their movement as they react with each other’s paths resulting in seemingly ‘intelligent’ behaviour. After a while the surface of their world becomes a dense irregular-regular patchwork of paths – an artefact of emergent behaviour. The documentation on this page is excellent, explaining the concept and technicalities behind the work, as well as elucidating on the general subjects of Cellular Automata, Random seeds and Turing Machines.

If you are in London there are three more days to see the gallery exhibit – it closes on Sunday 23rd October.
