[ISEA2006] Paper: Gheorghe Dan & Alisa Andrasek – Phylotic BodyScapes / Entheogenic Gardens: poly-scalar heterotopic

Abstract

Phylotic is a computational system employing dynamically relational assemblages for analysis, synthesis and cataloguing of cultural and biological phenotypes into a library of seeds or DNA, which may be hybridized and grown upon infinite topographies. In Phylotic, the human body becomes the most intimate heterotopic space, the breathing landscape onto which the computational system grows elaborate and sensuous bodyscapes/gardens.
