Inspired by Eric Drexler, one of the founders of the Institute the artwork rely on a passage from Drexler’s « Engines of Creation » where he wrote « “New technologies will nurture new arts, and new arts will bring new standards. The world of brute matter offers room for great but limited growth. The world of mind and pattern, though, holds room for endless evolution and change.”
