Recursive Growth: Resonance through Organic Systems

This updated 2024 version of Recursive Growth further develops the original concept of algorithmic complexity and artificial nature by introducing a more refined, particle-based visual language. While the core of the work still stems from the L-system, a recursive formal grammar derived from natural growth processes, this version pushes the boundaries of organic simulation through advanced generative techniques.

Utilizing Jitter’s gen~ environment, the visual elements now evolve with a more fluid, lifelike motion, as if the synthetic structures are breathing, expanding, and dissolving in real time. Each growth iteration doesn’t just replicate form—it divides into microscopic particles, suggesting a world that is both growing and disintegrating at once.

The sound mirrors this transformation. Rather than imposing rhythm or linear structure, it flows with the evolving visuals, gradually shifting in spectral density and harmonic texture. Partials and overtones bloom like invisible branches, subtly reacting to the particle movements on screen.

But the most important aspect of this version lies in how it engages the audience. There is no narrative or climax—just an ongoing, resonant process. The work invites the viewer-listener to observe, reflect, and feel a quiet resonance, as if the system’s inner logic is echoing within their own perception. It is a sonic-visual meditation on complexity, erosion, and the silent persistence of memory.
