Jason Bailey Honours Conway’s Game of Life with Online Exhibition

Zürich’s Kate Vass Galerie opens “The Game of Life,” an online exhibition in tribute to the late mathematician John Horton Conway. Curator Jason Bailey invited four generative artists, Jared S Tarbell, Alexander Reben, Kjetil Golid, and Manolo Gamboa Naon, to interpret Conway’s titular cellular automata experiments from the 1970s. “I love when simple rules become really complex,” Naon writes about layering several automata for his contribution (image). “I feel that they even explain the world in a very reduced way.”
