k3rnel consists of slowly evolving pixel based automata unfolding their ways towards endless entropy. Clusters of pixels act as different neighborhoods in the scene: they formulate spatial units for larger groups. In everyday life, neighborhoods usually consist of likeminded people, in analogy to the behavior of the pixel based crowds, presented in the work. These neighborhoods are living in a recursive grid system, where each cell on the grid can be occupied by a pixel coordination strategy.
