Digital artist Leonardoworks, a.k.a Leonardo Betti believes math and physics could explain human life, perception, and “even the feelings we can not quantify, like love, that goes beyond time and space dimensions.” In a colorful algorithmic experiment, he delves into computational mathematics, using the iterative method, a way of generating a sequence of approximate solutions to a problem, to explore what it would be like to generate life, he explains on Behance.  

“This project started [when I was] developing code functions in Max/Msp and Processing using Arrays and the ‘for’ instruction,” he continues. “After, I decided to connect all research I made (studying physic books, TED talks, M.I.T. documents) in one project, trying to enhance the connection between these studies and my life experience.”
