Hybrid Dandelion: Visual Aesthetics of Performance Through Bionic Mechanism with Data from Biometric Facial Recognition

Abstract

Hybrid Dandelion is an interactive real-time animation art installation, used bionic mechanisms of algorithmic design to study generative rules for mimic biological form. It provides an approach to combine the algorithmic data structures from distributed computing, fractal tree, and L-system for investigate growth dandelion-like morphology. This work creates an interaction scenario with using facial recognition to scan audience's biometrics as means decoding your genetic data, and then inserting (the trait) into the dandelion model for modifying its indeed generative rules as like metaphor hybrid genetically modified task. It allows the audience to experience their unique data-driven artificial life form - dandelion as embodied and possessed through their facial features, heartbeat signal, and emotion expression in artistic expression.
