Gallery Talk with Haolin and Jiayi
Friday, September 29 at noon

Expression of the Superorganism is an exhibition of visual art created by Red Imported Fire Ants in collaboration with artist Jiayi Guo and biologist Haolin Zeng. In the seemingly boundless expression of the superorganism, art created by ants features a post-humanist element, where the aesthetic dimension of being for humans and ants is one of cooperation rather than conflict.

Expression of the Superorganism is supported in part by the UGA Arts Collaborative, an interdisciplinary initiative for advanced research in the arts.

Strange Attractors

Strange Attractor Drawings

The new Arts Collaborative website and social media accounts feature drawings inspired by the Generative Garden exhibition, coded and plotted by Sudhan Chitgopkar.

Drawn to the aesthetic qualities of algorithm-driven art, Sudhan Chitgopkar uses generative art to explore his recreational interests in math. A recent UGA graduate with degrees in Computer Science and International Affairs, Sudhan continues to explore his interests in optimization, simulation, and visualization while studying computational science at Harvard University.
