Cellular Forms is part of and ongoing artistically led study into
how intricate form can be an emergent property of growth systems,
contributing to a body of work called Morphogenetic Creations.
Particularly inspired by the work of Ernst Haeckel, D'Arcy Thompson
and Alan Turing, the aim is to create forms emergently: exploring
generic similarities between many different shapes in nature rather
than emulating any particular organism, and revealing universal
archetypal forms that can come from growth-like processes rather
than top-down externally engineered design. All the software used to
run the simulations and render the resulting images was written and
designed by the artist, and implemented using C++ and CUDA.
