Simulation as Art
summary
Argues that computation makes art into an explorable, reactive reality and shows it with Unity experiments: simulated goo, hair and audio‑reactive surfaces built with compute shaders and streamed audio, a solution to pull GPU collision counts back to CPU so audio becomes generative and responsive. Highlights a 4KB realtime demo (≈3KB audio, 1KB visuals), a t‑SNE sound field built from ~44,000 quarter‑second freesound.org clips, VR prototypes shown at Sotheby’s and planned Steam releases, and the tradeoff between millions of web views and ~40K VR users.
