"Cybernetic Flora," is a real-time generative AI series that explores the interconnectivity of natural and digital forms, drawing inspiration from diverse botanical sources like jellyfish, coral, and dandelions. This dynamic fusion of terrestrial and marine life forms shapes a microcosmic biosphere that feels both familiar and otherworldly, emphasizing a harmony that transcends traditional boundaries. Through Deleuze and Parnet's philosophy, the artwork becomes a "plane of immanence" where distinctions between the natural and artificial fade, revealing an interconnected realm where human and AI co-evolution unfolds. Michel Serres' idea of 'parasitic noise' further deepens the concept, highlighting disruptions as catalysts that push these digital ecosystems into new forms of existence, fostering a creative space where organic and artificial elements co-function.
The methodology behind "Cybernetic Flora" integrates L-systems—a mathematical framework used to model biological growth patterns—with Stable Diffusion, an advanced AI model for image enhancement and denoising. This combination allows the piece to simulate intricate branching and organic patterns with unprecedented clarity. By utilizing "Denoising Path Orientation," Stable Diffusion precisely refines L-system-generated structures, expanding their potential applications across fields like generative art and procedural content creation. This fusion of biological principles and AI-driven refinement enriches the artwork, transforming it into a dynamic participant in conversations about symbiosis, digital creativity, and the evolving relationship between humans and AI.
