Installation with 9 sculptures (knitted white wire) made of electronic circuits that use the energy given by solar cells to create sounds and movements. The installation is an exhibition in the entrance hall of the new computing building.

In opposite to the supercomputer next door the sculptures do not compute the input but make them visible and hearable for the observer. The small life forms work totally analog and seem lifely and autonomous due to their changing behaviour caused by weather, clouds and rotation of the sculptures themselves.

Electronic-life-forms are inspired by the "living particles works" by ralf schreiber.
