I've spent the last half hour skimming through some of these videos and I'm only sure of three things:

- This guy is either mad, a genius, or both.

- I am not smart enough to figure out which it is.

- I need a swarm of monitors on my wall.

Video is by David Ackley (https://www.cs.unm.edu/~ackley/#rh-is):

> I do research, development, and advocacy of robust-first and best-effort computing on indefinitely scalable computer architectures. As of August 2018 I am an emeritus professor of Computer Science at the University of New Mexico. My academic degrees are from Tufts and Carnegie Mellon. Prior work has involved neural networks and machine learning, evolutionary algorithms and artificial life, and biological approaches to security, architecture, and models of computation.

Probably most notable around HN for his Movable Feast Machine, which has been posted here a few times: https://movablefeastmachine.org The goal of that is an indefinitely scalable computer architecture which is very, very robust.

Hmmm, looks like one of those game-of-life-implemented-in-game-of-life things, set up in a way which simulates actual living cells on the 2nd level, including cell division.

Looks like an art installation of the game of life, I think
