Swarm theory is an idea animating contemporary art, science, design, digital media, and social theory. “Swarm logic” is seen in works that use vast numbers of small parts to create systems whose final behavior or effect cannot be wholly predicted. Artists working with computers and new media construct rules that draw together data and generate behaviors that evolve over time. Sculptors and painters create structures and patterns based on the interrelationships and inherent properties of individual elements. Swarm connects the social life of bees, birds, crowds, and cities to contemporary aesthetics, as seen in the fascination of artists and designers with how simple, discrete units accumulate into complex systems.

A bit more representational, but equally visually saturated, are the works of Benjamin Edwards and Fabian Marcaccio. I’ve been a fan of Matthew Ritchie’s work for some time now.

Perhaps because Abbott and I are designers, we are able to look at art from a more catholic position than an art-world insider would, or a media art specialist. I have never been interested in "media art" per se; rather, I see it as embracing and commenting on the tools and phenomena that are changing life for everyone.
