Taxonomies, a STEAM project placed on the in-tersection between art, science, and technology. In Taxonomies art is taking the lead role, providing a goal for action,
while natural sciences and computation provide knowledge and means for artistic creation.
The project is a collaboration between the University of Southern Denmark, the BiotechLab
at Spinderihallerne and Rosborg Gymnasium, a Danish secondary school oriented towards the
humanities.
This L-System simulator allows to explore botanical art.
It is based on the work of Aristide Lindenmeyer, who created L-Systems in the 60es,
to investigate the development of plants and algae from a computational perspective,
reproducing their measurements, proportions, angles and rates of growth.
