::vtol:: signes de vie


::vtol:: signes de vie from ::vtol:: on Vimeo.

"'Signes de vie' ('Signs of Life') is a light model of a simple cell colony built on the principles of one-dimensional cellular automaton.

The object is a light and sound mechanism that is based on an old fax machine. A fluorescent dye is applied on special fax paper and thermal printing element is replaced by a row of 10 LEDs. As it goes through a step-by-step under the row of diodes, it leaves on a paper a glowing trace from short flashes: a row that corresponds to one generation of cellular automaton. Gradually, each of the rows fade and is being replaced by a new one, but the glowing time is enough to see the whole pattern of the colony."
