Computation and mathematics provide an alluring common language between scientific models and aesthetic practice. Computation is a vital tool for scientific simulation and also open-ended material for art. By designing and instantiating complex autonomous systems, we open the door to a new kind of knowledge based on synthesis of parts.<\/p>\n
