I. ARTIFICIAL BUT ACTUAL:
Artificial Life

Any technological component used to produce contemporary artworks such as computer programming or a techno-biological method is based on a system of operations applied in accordance to strictly determined algorithmic rules. The only way to know the outcome of such an instruction set is to run it. And each time the algorithm is run in a different set of environmental circumstances it will result in a different outcome.
