Louis Bec creates beautiful, colorful artificial life forms and believes that these new creatures will
serve as a kind of communication bridge between the biological and technological worlds. Bec asks, "Is it not the case that, at the very heart of artistic endeavor, there has long been the demiurgic ambition to create the living via multiple simulations? Do cloning, genetic engineering, and the creation of transgenic animals open the way to teratological art?"
He endows the series of potential beings with chimerical and fictional characteristics. This extension of biological evolution and simulating new life forms, emphasizes on how these could bring forth evolution, a unique search for new zoomorphic types and forms of communication between artificial and natural species. Bec is both artist and scientist in the field of artificial life and 3D technologies.
I like the style of these potential beings, as while it has chimerical characteristics, it does not display the typical hybrids of common animals we sea. The less obviousness of these creatures, create curiosity. I hope to create some of my imagery using a 3D program. Not only will this give me unlimited possibilities to my creations, it also connects the communication between biology and technology, like Bec aimed to do.
