Humans and computers are each the summation of extremely complex systems that can be deconstructed to a submolecular level. When examined at this scale, differences in chemistry and methodology are obvious. But approaching from a more philosophical perspective, our most basic components have many of the same functions and responsibilities. While DNA is entirely organic, it is just a container for code. DNA and Code both dictate rules that determine their owner's behavior, conscious and unconscious. Some humans and machines can even learn and improve their functionality through experience. We each have layers upon layers of processes, from low-level to high-level, each layer depending on the previous and communicating with a language that very few understand. Emergent AI technology is extremely close to emulating human movement, behavior, and emotions. With so many traits shared between biological and digital systems at a cellular level, what is the practical difference? Is it necessary to be biological to feel true emotions or authentically self-improve? When machines are able to clearly create, experience, and articulate feelings, will they be any less valid than those of the human observer? Biology / Code begins to explore these questions. Cubic arrangement and pixelation occurs between bursts of organic activity. The two-dimensional imagery is exclusively sourced from AP's photojournalism database and is forced into three dimensions by depth estimation algorithms, providing the visual system with a source of color, movement, and space. The music was composed by AI in the key of B minor.
