Petri.Vista

在 COVID-19 疫情期間，陳氏受到模擬感染軟體模型的啟示，創作複合系統《Petri.Vista》，旨在透過自主代理模擬人類現象。這些自主代理彼此互動，數位生命因不同事件和記憶而被激活。在這個數碼培養皿中，呈現出鳥瞰景觀。

During the COVID-19 pandemic, inspired by the infection simulation model, Chan created a complex system called "Petri.Vista" designed to simulate phenomena through autonomous agents. These autonomous agents interact with each other, and various events and memories activate digital life. In this digital petri dish, an aerial landscape is presented.

起初，代理僅由一個像素組成，隨著數據特徵的變化，逐漸發展成獨特的形狀。這些代理依賴於對環境的探索和學習，並在此過程中創建建築、繁衍生息、感染疾病或遷徙至新的家園。隨著時間的推移，觀眾或逐漸洞察到行為背後的規律和意義，也許真實只不過是另一個複雜的系統。

《Petri.Vista》入圍香港藝術中心第27屆ifva獎媒體藝術組決賽。

Initially, the agents consist of a single pixel, and as the data characteristics change, they gradually evolve into unique shapes. These agents rely on exploring and learning their environment, creating architecture, reproducing, contracting diseases or migrating to new homes. Over time, the audience may gradually perceive the patterns and meanings behind the behaviours, perhaps realising that reality is nothing more than another complex system.

"Petri.Vista" has been a finalist in the Media Art category of Hong Kong Arts Centre 27th ifva Awards.
