Algorithmic Archaeology of Folk Motifs — UDK Berlin Presentation
In 2025, Nicu Popescu presented his paper Algorithmic Archaeology of Folk Motifs: Nature, Code, and Cultural Memory during an ALPACA watch-party at Universität der Künste Berlin, with additional audiences joining online from the UK, Spain and Austria. The session blended a walkthrough of the research with live, interactive demonstrations showing how reaction–diffusion systems can echo and…

Materie Vie
A spatial sculpture of cardboard, light and computation “Materie Vie” is a spatial sculpture built from corrugated cardboard, paper, light and computation. Its folded structure creates an organic, maze-like volume, with light and moving reaction-diffusion patterns contained within it. A camera tracks the hands of visitors and uses their movement to disturb the evolving pattern.…

Soliton
Interactive installation (2024) Concept Soliton is an interactive installation in which visitors generate emerging Turing patterns with their own gestures.Using real-time pose estimation, bodily movement is translated into the initial conditions of a reaction–diffusion system. The result is a living digital surface — a computational painting that continuously reorganizes itself as viewers shift their weight, extend…
