Speculative Evolution Through 3D Cellular Automata
This project explores speculative evolution through a 3D implementation of Conway's Game of Life, using procedural simulation to generate unfamiliar extraterrestrial organic forms. By applying a volumetric optimized workflow, the raw cellular structures are smoothed into unified, bone-like geometries that resemble hypothetical non-terrestrial morphologies. The resulting forms, strange yet organic, are 3D printed as fossil-like artifacts, presenting a tangible representation of generative structures. This process situates the work at the intersection of artificial life, evolutionary modeling, and digital fabrication, illustrating how simple rules can simulate complex biological emergence and challenge conventional notions of organic form.
