“trans_form” is digital visual poetry on Transitional Forms, a meditation on the transformation of both livings bodies and society. In biology within the theory of evolution, it is used to describe the intermediate forms of all organisms, both living and extinct, which are ultimately connected by an unbroken chain of descent with modification to a common ancestral trunk among single-celled organisms in the distant past. As a thought evolves, all the in-between forms become Transitional Forms. Of course, if we think of this as a process that has no beginning and no end, everything exists in continuous Transitional Forms and a constant change. As it is in biological dimension, as well as a social and psychological dimension.

Part of an ongoing research project on algorithms exploring transitional forms in the practice of Generative Art.
