MUTATE / EVOLVE — Tokyo
MUTATE / EVOLVE won the Jury Prize at the 1minute Projection Mapping Competition in Tokyo: 3D renderings transformed by artificial intelligence into organic, lifelike mutations — from single cells to complex organisms.
Our artwork for the 1minute Projection Mapping Competition in Tokyo, awarded the Jury Prize. RE:SORB used artificial intelligence to transform its 3D renderings into organic, lifelike mutations: starting with simple single-cell organisms, the mapping shows more and more complex life emerging on the façade.
RE:SORB had used artificial intelligence before: ‘Synergy’, at the Bolshoi Theatre in 2018, ran neural networks over the studio’s 3D animation.
The animation is built to the geometry of the façade it plays on. The mutations spread across it in blue and purple.
RE:SORB returned to the same competition the following year with UMBRA, which received the Tokyo Tokyo Award.
