AEco (Ancestral Ecosystem) is an ecosystemic algorithm which has been used at the core on a series of installations and performances. AEco is not based on natural dynamics or genetic algorithms, but instead utilizes ancestral principles and methodologies of intragenerational knowledge exchange to generate emergent behaviours.
AEco.5o [AV INSTALLATION] & AEco.16o.1i [PERFORMANCE]Two adaptions for sound composition. Within the ecosystem can live up to 15 synthesised voices which learn how to harmonise each other by interpreting the ecosystem’s history. The synthesis is modelled to mimic the sound of wolves howling, the voices altogether will behave like a wolf pack, with a leading voice (AURA) driving the chant. AEco.5o is designed for a five-channel setup, with up to 3 voices per channel. 16o.1i requires 16 distinctive outputs and uses the input from a live instrument to drive the ecosystem dynamics. The result is a synthetic choir which tries to harmonise the driver.
Aeco.STx [VISUAL MODULE]Portable visual module with printed guide and engraved acrylic panel depicting the system’s internal dynamics. This implementation works to decode a message embedded within the ancestry of the ecosystem. The message slowly emerges and evolves depending on the behavioural patterns of the ecosystem. STx runs is designed as a portable solution for research on the system. Written in C++.
