Planesong suggests the construction and deconstruction of the basic building blocks of life, both digital and biological.It raises questions concerning life, power, control and technology.

Technology: Four Mac-Mini's/Processing/PIC Microcontroller/Network/Game Controller.
Software: Processing based generative algorithm for the production of planar space.
