Synthetic Biology emerged from an ongoing exploration of hybrid image making, where analog video processes are used to texture 3D environments. In this case, an analog video mixer was used to create video feedback which was

the vibrant, pulsing textures of the leaves are created from video feedback produced by an analog video mixer. By feeding the mixer its own output, flowing, organic patterns emerge in real time. These artifacts are captured, digitized, and re-contextualized as the leaves of a solitary tree in a retro-inspired landscape. In editing, this logic extends through superimposition. Alternate cuts of the film are composited, allowing multiple iterations of time to coexist within a single frame. These overlapping structures generate new patterns of motion, color, and meaning that only visible within the context of the whole. The resulting visual depth and temporal complexity mirrors the branching of the tree and the simulation that governs its construction.
