Valence is a project that uses the properties of organic systems (things like growth, atrophy, adaptation and metabolism) as methods for building representations that are based on the interaction of many simple rules in an attempt to achieve a more telling representation. These representations seek to make information expressive, where organisms consume and metabolize data to provide a qualitative feel for the information it represents.
