The Traveling Creature

03.22

The Traveling Creature - a software that generates art pieces based on real human beings interacting with each other.

Inspired by the story of a traveling spirit, we created an interactive “spirit” using code, designed to be sent from Creature to Creature.

When the spirit gets to a person, they decide who to pass it onto. Whoever gets it from them makes the same decision… and so on.

Every time the spirit is transferred, it automatically and instantly creates a new artwork of the sender and recipient’s creatures together.

Collectively, we determine the fate of what artwork exists in this collection based on who we choose to engage with. Together, we make our small interactions into something that stays with us forever.

In the first 6 days, 2,314 artworks were created by participants.
