ABOUT THE WORK
Theme: Algorithmic Nature(算法自然)
Subtitle: Simulating the Pulse of the Earth(模拟大地的脉动)
"If the first piece is the skin of the mountain, this piece is its heartbeat.
Using the exact same terrain data as the source, I created a system that continuously grows. You are not looking at a static map, but watching a process of digital crystallization.
In this simulation, the mountain peaks act like biological cells, constantly expanding and fighting for territory on the screen. It visualizes the invisible energy inside the land. It represents the landscape not as it is, but as it is becoming—evolving endlessly before your eyes."
