From the study of organic randomness (Plug-Ins, Companions) arose the VECTORSTEGANOGRAPHY project:
With a botanical software simulating the growth of herbaceous plants, complex floral graphics are created not by drawing, but rather by "breeding" from a cluster of "genetic" information.

As the computer can generate an infinite number of combinations of these plants - and re-create each of the shapes from the seed parameters - the graphic representations can be interpreted as carriers of hidden information, similar to the concept of hiding secret data in images ("steganography"). This concept could potentially be used to define a new generation of bar codes, e.g. to serialize precious objects with decorative laser engravings that double as a proof of authenticity and a hidden serial number.

This experiment in shape feeds back into the design of the Plug-Ins, part of which are laser-engraved with a floral serial number, and of the Companions, whose circuit board layout is digitally "grown", then photo-etched onto the copper-plated substrate.
