This piece is named Chrysalis, inspired by the process of the transformation from egg to caterpillar to chrysalis and, finally, adult. The artwork is a metaphor describing the evolution of organic life into digital, artificial machine world Al. The single celled organism eventually gives birth to the human and in turn the human gives birth to Al. A fascinating question as to whether this is an inevitable course that evolution takes throughout the universe or is this a freak accident here on Earth.

Using computer animation (not Al) artist Andy Thomas visually describes this concept with the growth of semi abstract structures inspired by nature, technology and modern day art styles such as graffiti, maximalism and futurism. He has also composed the sounds using synthesisers and samples taking the viewer through a journey of nature transforming into technology.
