Runs Continuously, Never Repeats
CPU, or Color Processing Unit, is a study of emergent behavior and viewer perception. A rule set generates combinations of colors. Although the software uses the same rules, the viewer interprets some of these combinations as ‘patterns’ and others as ‘noise’. In this way it comments on the infinite potential of visual space – how many images are possible and how many are considered as such.
