"Tearoom of Zero/One" by Tatsuo Miyajima is an art piece displayed at the Miraikan National Museum of Emerging Science and Innovation. It represents the chaotic, continuous change of society and human consciousness as a black digital screen filled with shifting random numbers. Details can be read here. This art piece seemed like fun to implement so I created this rendition.
Be sure to have Python3 (any version should be fine) and Tkinter installed.
To run the art piece, create a local copy of this repository and run:
python3 main.py
This should run the art piece that looks something like this:
The art piece itself (the "Tearoom") is a 7x7 grid of cells, where each cell is either empty or counting up from 1 to 9. The chance that a cell starts counting and the rate at which a cell counts up is determined randomly. The Tearoom has a lifespan, where after a certain amount of time elapses, all cells become empty and never count again.
