Turing Toon n1

AUSTRALIA 2025 5' M/12

An animation based on Turing Patterns. Alan Turing developed this concept in 1952 to describe how patterns in nature, such as zebra stripes, leopard spots and houndstooth can arise naturally when two diffusible substances interact with each other. Here I'm using TouchDesigner to recreate the conditions leading to these unlikely patterns and drive their evolution from my soundtrack.
