The Memo-Automaton is an artistic cellular automaton made exclusively for this project.
This automaton use a webcam to takes photos which then are transformed into digital
generative portraits .
You can print or download these generative portraits directly from this website
and do whatever you want with them, maybe create a new feedback(see the project's

Every image introduced into the Memo Automaton sets -in a unique way- the initial state of
the automaton, thus, ensuring a particular and hard to predict process of new portrait
construction, also in the same way, producing an unique new portrait.
​
Given the generative and emergent complexity nature of the Memoautomaton, once you let it
iterate enough time, the possible outcomes could be:
​
1. A static portrait (without movement)
2. A dinamic stable portrait (with a repetitive,cyclical movement)
3. A dinamic chaotic portrait (non repetitive movement, a portrait that never finish of being
made)
​
it all depends on the initial conditions given by the input

it works better on Google chrome, for a full experience allow webcam activation :)
