Description

Artist Statement
Iconica is an artificial world made of language, populated by lifeforms whose bodies are made of media encoded with different systems of representation. The artificial life model that generates the appearance and behaviour of this world is based on an iconic language which may be combined using grammatical rules to create an endless number of possible meanings. Trans'forms is an abbreviation of the term 'transitional forms' from evolutionary theory. This term refers to the inbetween states that occur when one species evolves into another new species. The new lifeforms depicted above apply this concept to digital media, capturing transitional forms in visual languages as they evolve and adapt to electronic space.
