intelligent component

_who: thomas t. jensen, david o. wolthers_where: cita_when: 2009_what: the Complex Formations workshop investigated emergent formation by scripting in Rhino. the sum-things intended to design a system would find its form by internal rules and relations to context. the system is based on branching systems, or L-systems. the algorithm is used as behavior in three seperate and differentiated components, each with its own unique quality. the components are able to adapt to their context by moving their legs, avoiding walls and mutating by the distance to a lightsource. the components have a form of intelligence that allows them to generate an emergent formation.
