Media Arts navigate seamlessly between rule-based systems (generative arts) and more fluid, interactive art forms, torpedoing prescribed conventions and norms. Within this playing field of given structures and their absence, between order and chaos, contemporary media artists present artificial designs full of potential interactions for their audiences.
An array of speakers presents ground-breaking strategies between algorithmic power and anarchic randomness: Andy Lomas creates new life forms that pushes the envelope of simulation and computation. Analema Group's holographic projections invite audience to discover the limits of their own sonic understanding. The Five Tribes' immersive experience is a dialogue between music and digital art, connecting sound and visual forms in order to create a ground-breaking experience. Phenotypica create evocative artworks and immersive experiences about science that engender an emotional response. Together. these artists will discuss how they transgress boundaries of their own artificial design: FLUX Social: Artificial Design 25th of June 2019

About the speakers:
The Five Tribes
Emmanuel Exbrayat is a London-based multifaceted artist: a cutting-edge technology creator, a composer and a musician, a story-teller, an explorer of digital arts... he likes to combine all of these components to create interactive artistic installations that never fail to amaze.
The project he will be presenting is called The Five Tribes, an immersive experience in three parts : the book, the game, and the show. It's a dialogue between music and digital art, a poetic and luminous production that combines concert staging with live performances and games, connecting sound and visual forms in order to create a groundbreaking experience, that will make the audience dive deep into an amazing fantasy world filled with good vibes!

Phenotypica
Phenotypica is an initiative created in 2016 by computer scientist Ben Murray and artist Neus Torres Tamarit. Our objective is to create evocative artworks and immersive experiences about science that engender an emotional response so that audiences react to scientific concepts and practice as a human experience.
We view both programming and art as intensely creative, intuitive and technical disciplines, and draw from both to give us a novel collaborative approach and artistic practice that attempts to remove the boundaries that too often separate science from the rest of human activity and reveal the creativity and beauty that is revealed by scientific discoveries.
Neus Torres Tamarit (MA Art and Science (Central Saint Martins, London)) has collaborated as an artist with the Tate Exchange at Tate Modern, and the Royal Society.
Ben Murray (MSc in Computer Science, University of Edinburgh), has a background in computer graphics, medical imaging and bioinformatics, amongst other fields. He is a Senior Research Associate at KCL, applying machine learning to oncology in a clinical setting.

Analema Group
Analema Group create experiences on the intersection between art and technology. Our mission is to reflect on the nature of perception, exploring the relationships between sound, colour, light, movement and form. Our participatory art fills the gap between performers and audiences, enabling them to question their senses and the boundaries of perception.
Analema Group is an arts collective, founded by Artistic Director – Evgenia Emets in 2010, joined by Oliver Gingrich, Alain Renaud and David Negrao. The members of the collective include collaborators from various backgrounds. Evgenia Emets is an artist and poet, she drives artistic vision and creates performance work on the intersection of poetry, language and sound. Dr. Alain Renaud specialises in sound installations and sound design. Oliver Gingrich is an artist working in the realm of media art and visual technologies. David Negrao works in visual programming.

Andy Lomas
Andy Lomas is a computational artist, mathematician and Emmy award winning supervisor of computer generated effects. His art work explores how complex sculptural forms can be created emergently by simulating growth processes. Inspired by the work of Alan Turing, D'Arcy Thompson and Ernst Haeckel, it exists at the boundary between art and science.
He is currently based in London, developing his art practice as well as working as a Lecturer in Creative Computing in at Goldsmiths, University of London.
He has had work exhibited in numerous exhibitions, including at the Pompidou Centre, V&A, the Royal Society, SIGGRAPH, Japan Media Arts Festival, Ars Electronica Festival, Los Angeles Municipal Art Gallery, Los Angeles Center for Digital Art, Centro Andaluz de Arte Contemporaneo, Watermans, the Science Museum and the ZKM. He also has work in the collections at the V&A, the Computer Arts Society and the D'Arcy Thompson Art Fund Collection, and was selected by Saatchi Online to contribute to a special exhibition in the Zoo Art Fair at the Royal Academy of Arts. In 2014 his work Cellular Forms won The Lumen Prize Gold Award.
He has given invited talks and keynote presentations at numerous companies, conferences and events, including TEDx, Pixar, ILM, the European Conference on Artificial Life, the Architectural Association, UCL, the Academy of Fine Arts Vienna, the Institute for Computational Design and Construction, CVMP, FMX, London LASER and the Computer Arts Society.
