By digitizing not just designs but the construction of materials, the same lessons that von Neumann and Shannon taught us apply to exponentially increasing fabricational complexity. I’ve defined digital materials to be those constructed from a disc
oscillating green-on-black binary figures. The drawings and binary figures are animated using algorithms from mathematician John Horton Conway’s 1970 Game of Life, a “cellular automaton.” Conway set up parameters for any square (“cell”) to be lit (“alive”) or dark (“dead”) in an infinite, two-dimensional grid.
