Documentary nShape creates and evolves a generative film using computational processes. The system is designed to create and select shapes that it (the computer) finds 'interesting'; if the shapes are interesting the system visualises them. Shapes the system doesn't 'like' are modified until the system either finds them 'interesting' or 'dull', in which case the shapes are forgotten. The screen on the right is the documentary of the most interesting shapes.
