ARTWORK WITH FELIPE SHIBUYA

{ }cene is a piece that shows the result of simulating an artificial life system. This system has two types of agents: representing humans and other living beings. Both feed on the same resources, while multiplying and dying. Human agents also feed on other living beings and are more aggressive in the consumption of available resources. Two scenarios are presented. In one of them, human agents reproduce at a higher rate than other agents, showing how the overpopulation of one type of agent culminates in the extinction of others and also of themselves. In the other scenario, the multiplication rate of human agents is more moderate, showing how both types can live in a relationship of dependency.
