Fish&Chips Apparatus
Machine, human, environment, computer, will co-design and co-evolve into new artificial living systems.
The "Fish&Chips Apparatus" fits into the context of International Exhibition design “Spontaneous Schooling”, with the participation of 86 architectural workshops around the world.

25 tropical fishes on the tank
Fishes swim around floating feeders agitating them and producing small and high frequency waves. The sensors are recording waves frequency in real time while the waves patterns and therefore fish colonies patterns are read by a parametric modelling software generating an ever evolving design output. The digital gardens drawings become interactive maps of the fish colonies daily behavior, of the visitors feeding patterns and the designer reaction to them both.

The apparatus does not need assembling. It can just be plugged into a Laptop and can run; the laptop needs to be equipped with the software and codes provided. Picture found on ecoLogicStudio's website.
