“Neighbours” is an animation based on “cellular automata”. More specifically “Wolfram elementary cellular automata”.

A cellular automaton is a discrete model studied in computability theory, mathematics, physics, complexity science, theoretical biology and microstructure modeling. Wolfram Elementary Cellular Automata is the simplest class of one-dimensional cellular automaton. For each frame in the animation, each cells state (0 or 1, black or white) is determined by it’s own and it’s neighbours states, according to a regularly changing ruleset. The neighbourhood is defined by the value of the cell to the left, the cell to the right and it’s own value. Each cell is a “Raspberry Pi” computer and a screen which is connected through a local network. The software is developed with “Open Frameworks”.

It is supported by Bergen Kommune and developed at BEK (Bergen Center for Electronic Arts).
