Seph Li discusses the generative installation called "Phase". The piece combines interaction and computational logic to create a unique and immersive experience for participants. Seph merges algorithms from the Wolfram Physics Project with traditional Chinese ink painting simulations, creating an interactive universe where visitors' actions influence the artwork's evolution. Some of the other things discussed include a simple taxonomy of different types of interactions, coding, and what Seph is currently working on.
