alienated

In modern society, we always select and delete many things under the cloak of speed and efficiency. Some of the selection/deletion that you can find are; removing natural streams and greens for a city space division, dismissing people for a business reorganization, and deleting data for compressing data files etc. Do these constituents deserve to be dismissed/deleted? Are the beauty/value/vitality of removed stream, dismissed worker, deleted data really valueless?

With this question, we tried to find the unknown zone (an area in which shunned entities live and build their own world. a multi dimensional world that locates on the board which used to be regarded as an 1D line.) that the consciously or unconsciously shunned entity within the society exists and to show their possibility. We extracted the lost data in the process of compression from BMP to JPG and simulated the process of deleted data self-building its own world using genetic algorithm.

1st approach_imitation

lost(deleted/shunned) data evolves and builds an imitation world of the original. In this approach, we can see that the shunned constituent at least can make an image/society which has the same beauty (value) with the original. But data only stays in the boundary of original world and couldn't create their own world yet.movie (mov/1.8M)

2nd approach_crossing

Lost data starts to evolve in the rule of imitating the original (existing) world and keeps evolving after it hits the original physical boundary... Data overcomes the limitation and start to explore new area. movie (mov/ 24.2M)
