Abstract
For centuries, the Chinese have represented the cosmos with four mythical creatures: the Azure Dragon, Black Tortoise, Vermillion Phoenix and White Tiger. The Silver River is a generative art piece which captures this seamless fusion of technology and myth, of science and art, and of old with new.
