Description Game of Life Extrusions are created from the British mathematician John Horton Conways cellular automaton Conways Game of Life, which is a zero-player simulation game that artificially emulates the evolution of complex life over time using a simple set of rules to seed its generations. Each image in Game of Life Extrusions is a transformation of the evolutions Conways Game of Life can compute into a spatial visualization. These visualizations were made by taking each frame of a two-dimensional Game of Life sequence and stacking the frames from the animation into a large three-dimensional object, where each pixel or 'cell' in the original Game of Life sequence is now extruded into a cube in three-dimensional space. The time axis of the 2D animation becomes the physical z-axis of a static 3D object. A custom script was used to convert the frames of a Game of Life sequence into a 3D model file which was then rendered using simulation of light.
