XEPA - Autonomous Intelligent Light and Sound Sculptures That Improvise Group Performances
XEPA is a generative installation of intelligent sound and light sculptures that independently evaluate the aesthetics of the other sculptures, infer an attempted theme or mood, and then modify their own aesthetics to better reinforce that theme, each time creating a performance that is emergent, unique, and widely varied.
