To produce an equivalent exercise with an image, we have to explore all the combinatory compositions we can produce using the pixels of an initial image. All the possible images produced only by changing pixels positions.
On this series, depending on its initial light and color, each pixel is determined to be a living agent or simply a nutrient. Thus the agents will move through the image trying to feed themselves and as a result producing new imagery, a part of the previously refered domain of possibilities. In this particular case using the colors and dimensions of the digital representations of Duchamp,s works.
