Jaime De los Ríos // Zoospace-MNEMOSINE

The project to be developed sets out to make the spectator a participant in forming a varied habitat based on his/her presence in combination with that of all the previous participants.
An algorithm developed in arteleku for an interactive installation will be worked on, whereby the shadow of the user is captured and introduced into Zoospace so that it acquires independence and begins to mix with the other shadows, reproducing, possibly suffering mutations and eventually dying.

The focus of Zoospace. – MNEMOSINE to be worked in this workshop is the implementation of the project on the Internet, by which a virtual world is generated by the users and the descendents of their shadows. The objective is to display the process data, as well as the information on each one of the shadows, in the following way:        
-           Family tree
-           Genetic code
-           Reproductive data: crossover counter
-           Interaction data: visits by the user in the physical or virtual world

The interaction of shadow capture will be made by introducing a photograph of the user into the to-be-developed software and so inserting it into zoospace.
