The Hot-House Project
2005
Video Documentary
The Hot-House was an ambitious exhibition of multiple real-time interactive video-sound works. Each of the included pieces represent a different set of behaviors that were then integrated into The 100 Monkey Garden. The 100 Monkey Garden is an evolving artificial environment inhabited by self-replicating audio-visual structures resembling fictional architectures and artificial organisms. The underlying ideas are predicated on an investigation of the principles of chaos theory, artificial life, inter-media transcoding and network systems.
The HotHouse project was created by David Stout with invaluable assistance from artist-programmers, Luke DuBois and Cory Metcalf.
Included Works:
