Mayelana ne-Cryptographic Beings Ukufakwa Kobuciko

I-Cryptographic Beings iwukufakwa kobuciko okugcina idatha yedijithali ku-algae ephilayo. Lo msebenzi wakhiwe ngamabhithi ezitshalo angamashumi amathathu, ngalinye liyisitsha sengilazi esiphethe i-algae enemicu. I-photosynthesis ikhiqiza amavesikeli egesi, ngakho i-algae intanta ekukhanyeni bese icwila ebumnyameni. Isimo ngasinye sokuntanta noma sokucwila simele u-ziro noma u-wani wedijithali, futhi lokhu kufakwa kungagcina igama elinezinhlamvu ezinhlanu. Izingalo zerobhothi ezihamba ngenjini zilawula ukukhanya okufinyelela esitsheni ngasinye, kanti inzwa yombala eyenzelwe lokhu ifunda isimo ngasinye. Lo mshini usebenza ngokuzimela izinyanga eziningi ngesikhathi sombukiso.

Ukuqashelwa

Mayelana ne-Umklomelo Wesiliva we-A' Design Award

Cryptographic Beings Ukufakwa Kobuciko iwinile uMklomelo Wesiliva we-A' Design Award, ukwaziswa okuhloniphekile ngokungajwayelekile okunikezwa imiklamo esezingeni eliphezulu, ebukekayo nethinta kakhulu. Abawinile beSiliva yimisebenzi egqamile kakhulu nedala kakhulu ebonisa ubungcweti obuphawulekayo, italente nobuhlakani babaklami babo. Cryptographic Beings Ukufakwa Kobuciko ilindeleke ukuba ibe ngumsebenzi omuhle wesibonelo, onobungcweti obuphawulekayo nezinto ezintsha ezijulile. Lo mklamo owinile uMklomelo Wesiliva we-A' Design Award uyinto entsha ebonakala kakhulu nethakazelisayo esiza futhi isunduza imingcele yobuciko, isayensi, ukuklama nobuchwepheshe. Cryptographic Beings Ukufakwa Kobuciko iyinto enomhawu omkhulu kuyo evusa izifiso, ilethe imizwa emihle futhi ivuse ukumangala nokuxakeka.

Izici Ezihlukile: Cryptographic Beings is a technological proposal that leverages our ability to control and abstract biology to perform digital information storage.

Marimos are large spherical colonies of algea.

Photosynthetic activity produces gas vesicles visible to the naked eye
This property allows them to float when exposed to light and sink in the dark

This property is used to store digital data: The floating or sinking state representing digital 0s or 1s
This robotic setup is capable of storing a 5 letter word

height : 300 cm
Depth : 60 cm

Ubuchwepheshe Bokukhiqiza: This work was developed as part of an ongoing research project on bio-hybrid computation exploring the possible morpho-space of computing devices. Michael Sedbon questions the information-processing properties of living matter through the creation of novel technologies embed into sculptural artefacts.
This work has been developed as a functional prototype of a digital data storage device on vegetal media. It uses living algae, custom electronic and software code to store information.
Inselele Yokudweba: Cryptographic being is both a technological and an artistic proposal. The technology used to store digital information in vegetal media is a pure creation for this work. During its development, numerous technical challenges such as the design of custom sensors and engineered mechanical parts had to be overcome.
As an artistic project, it also had to communicate its (highly technical) subject in an understandable manner. Great care was placed in rendering biological processes visible.
Ucwaningo: Living organisms perceive and interact with their environment through computation. Recent advances in the life sciences allow researchers and designers to envision machines of new kinds that leverage the massive and specific capacities of living matter in computing.
How would these bio-hybrid machines change our perception of nature and culture, what can be used to compute, what can be computed and what form will they take? These are the question this work approach.
Ugqozi: The first part of the 20th century witnessed simultaneously the discovery of the basis of information storage in DNA and the revolutions of the modern computing era.

Since then, the fields of computer science and modern biology have co-evolved in a conceptual framework that looks at life as an information processing system and at digital computations as Intelligence.

This cultural relationship is allowing us to design new kinds of bio-hybrid computers leveraging the massive capacity of life.
Ubude Bephrojekthi: The project was conceptualised and prototyped in summer 2021. The production occurred from September 2021 to March 2022. This work was shown at Au Dela Des Pixel, a digital art exhibition curated and organised by 36 Degres, in March 2022 in Paris.
Ukuhamba Kokusebenza: This autonomous machine consists of an array of 30 vegetal bits made of filamentous algae held in glass vessels. The control of the information flow is handled by a set of specifically developed robotic arms that control photosynthetic processes in each of the bits. The state of each bit (the digital information) is retrieved by a custom-made device based on a colour sensor.
The machine is designed to run autonomously for months throughout an exhibition.
