In the video work "What is a Man Without a Shadow", a digital morphogenesis via AI is being used, as a method, taking its inspiration from biology, and it is used to describe the process of the evolutionary development of organisms and polymorphic systems. In digital morphogenesis, new forms replace the former ones, through the logic of optimization, via an open system of states of constant interaction. These organized structures are turning radically into disorganized ones, creating general disorder. Images get gradually degraded, revealing entities that change the consistency of space and time, with an average entropy value, enabling new realities to be tested in a virtual space. Consecutively, that allows the evolution of beings who strive to mark their existence in sequences that interact, passing from one situation to another, generating the genetic material of the project.
