Aguaviva Moon jellyfish, aqurium, pump, electronics, LED light, Camera, Arduino
A solitary moon jellyfish swims around in a saltwater dome. A small camera tracks its movement and turns it into xy values, expressed on a collar of digital numbers. The shifting position of the jellyfish is mapped to the corresponding digits below, resulting in an ever-changing string of random numbers.
A.I. Ball addresses the emergence of artificial intelligence and the competing forces shaping its development and impact. Duelling microchips face off, taking turns to solve mathematical problems which pushes a ball onto their equally matched opponent, resulting in an endless zero-sum game.
