Marine life as a living algorithm
Beneath the Swarm started from a single question: what does it feel like to be inside the ocean rather than looking at it through glass? The installation places visitors inside a generative simulation of marine life, fish, turtles, jellyfish, and whales, rendered as fluid digital entities governed by swarm behaviour algorithms.Each creature type follows its own rule set. Fish school. Jellyfish drift. Whales move through the space with a different weight and intention. Together they create an ecosystem that looks organic because the underlying logic is organic, drawn from decades of research into collective animal behaviour. The simulation runs in real time. No two moments are identical.
