Scavengers
by Louis-Philippe Demers, Bill Vorn
🏆 Award of Distinction · Prix Ars Electronica 1996
“Scavengers” by Louis-Philippe Demers and Bill Vorn received an Award of Distinction in the Interactive Art category of the Prix Ars Electronica 1996.
Demers and Vorn invite the visitors to enter the simulated world of "Scavengers" and to consider a robotic ecosystem. The robotic species are adapted to their behaviors in the habitat and at the same time are a metaphor for natural societies. There are parasites, scavengers, herds etc.
