Automata
What if ad-hoc, self-organizing mesh networks were all we needed to communicate?
This is a first draft, prepared for discussion at the Networked Publics Conference (Annenberg Center for Communication, April 28-29, 2006.). We welcome comments and ideas about how to improve this video. We would particularly appreciate specific suggestions about how to change the scenario and improve the narrative, or contributions of images and clips we could use. Please comment below.

Reversible Automata / Irreversible Automata
http://artfail.com/automata/
"If only I could move through time as freely as I can move through space." -- This thought has been especially prevalent in my mind throughout my years in graduate school. I felt it was only fitting that my graduate thesis evolve out of it. There is much conjecture about time manipulation, the possibilities, the impossibilities and the paradoxes. I wanted to find a system that was not bound by time in the same manner we are. That system came in the form of reversible Cellular Automata. Cellular Automata (CAs) are simple graphic self-generating mathematical algorithms. These algorithms exhibit emergent, even lifelike, behavior, which can be very complex even when the rules they follow are quite simple. Reversible Cellular Automata follow rules such that taking a step forward in time is as simple as taking a step back. The Irreversible Automata in this piece are you and I. If you are a researcher in the field of Artificial Life, or a subscriber to the philosophy of Universal Automatism this is not an unusual assumption. The other assumption I make is that we are in fact trapped in a forward-moving linear chronology. Besides the strictly philosophical arguments, there exist some conjectures in quantum mechanics about the breaking of causality when it comes to entanglement and "spooky action at a distance". In my macro-world, day to day struggle, however, time-does-exist as an unbreakable restraint.
The basis for the work is these two opposing systems. One system unbound by time, and the other (the one I live in) bound by time. The question now was: How do these two systems really function? The answer to this problem came in Joel Slayton's foreword to Media Ecologies by Mathew Fuller:
"...to discover or reveal the determinates of any complex system is to collide it with another."
- Slayton Media Ecologies p. ix
I thus began developing a mechanism for colliding these two systems together. What would happen to causality if such a collision were to occur? Could causality, at least in concept, be bent or broken? I needed the resulting project to be an environment where the underlying computation of each system was exposed to the computation of the other. Opening people to CAs is one issue, but opening CAs to people is another. For the human element to absorb the computation of the cellular automata, we had to want to absorb it. The environment needed to present the CAs in an engaging and aesthetic incarnation. Cellular Automata cannot be enticed to absorb a foreign computation in the same way that we can. I had to expose their innards to the air. Using an elaborate system, I extracted key elements of their algorithms from the inner workings of the computer, the black box they normally reside in. Using a monitor, camera and 192 LEDs I opened up the Cellular Automata algorithm to the natural world in such a way that we human computations were able to freely inhabit it. Both systems now occupied a single reality.

Generative Music - Cellular automata and blip blops
[ UPDATE!! for higher quality sound, watch this here: http://www.vimeo.com/931182 ]
This is a sample output of something I've been working on lately. A somewhat intelligent cellular automata system that I developed with some atari2600 style sonification.
Poor figure that you see at the beginning triggers a relatively complex cellular life system(which is based on conway's rules but it's not ahistoric and can switch rules on the fly depending on the situation) and I've done some work to sonify the life with atari2600 sounds. I have no control over the system once it is started, and it dies by itself.
Software used:
Processing connected to SuperCollider via osc_p5 library and the great p5_sc library, and I used the Atari2600 UGen by Fredrik Olofsson, all custom software.
It is actually in stereo but Youtube bastardizes the content by converting everything to mono. If anyone is interested in the original, i can send links.
