Prix
The Prix Ars Electronica Archive is a collection enabling search and viewing of all the submissions since 1987. The award-winning projects are documented with catalogue texts and audio-visual media. All other submissions can be searched by title/artist and displayed with year, category in list form. Please cite the credits (artwork name, artist and photographer) and only use the materials if your article is related to Ars Electronica.

*Bio-Inspire* is an inspired A/V 3D dome performance which has screened in the Institute of American Indian Arts (New Mexico) and Fiske Planetarium – University of Colorado Boulder (Colorado ).
Two A/V artists and two sound designers worked for the project. It is a five minute long mapping video that took three months to be completed. Red, white, and black fractal patterns flutter across the screen. A show of abstract webs and networks of connected organisms visualize artificial neuron connections and the growth & gradual sophistication of neural networks. This is *Bio-Inspire*.
It is mainly inspired by Artificial Neural Networks, which is a widely used method in machine learning and cognitive science. They are human-made versions of biological neural networks, namely the neural system of the animals. The ANNs are composed of several nodes, layers, and connections which simulate to some extent the message exchange and processing through a biological neural network. Each function is specific to the learned data according to which the form of the ANN is shaped.
As the quantity of layers, nodes, and connections in an artificial neural network increase, the structure gets more complex. Getting the inspiration from the structure of an ANN, our aim was to redefine the complexity of a neural network using abstract objects and sound referring to its natural form.
All visuals are made by using C4D, Softimage and ICE.
