I am currently investigating growth processes and emergence in the built environment, in particular, the correlation between urban growth and biological processes including Cellular Automata, Lindenmayer systems and Brownian motion. I create digital models of urban environments generated by programming that is based on these systems and from them derive videos, prints, and drawings for national and international exhibition. The research trip outlined below will allow me to collect photographs, video and drawings from the field as well as collect images and texts from archives to be used in the creation of these models and ultimately the artworks themselves. My department is excited about this work, and has thus far contributed funding for materials toward this endeavor.
