Game of life

A drawing table teeming with organisms that draw their own plan. You create a dynamic world with a balance betwen life, food and waste.
A black table seems to glow magically. The visitor holds his hand above it and an incredible image appears; the contours of the hand appear on the table's surface and out of it crawl numerous white dots that move across the table in beautiful patterns, and live on for quite a while before they eventually die out. Everywhere where life proliferates it leaves behind traces of blue: pollution. The visitor presses his finger against the surface and sows food. A miniature ecosystem that lives by a simple mathematical rule, and shows beautiful images.
