Propagative Particle/Genes as Culture

The concept of a meme, which refers to a unit of information that occurs within an idea or culture, has been proposed by Richard Dawkins in human society. The project attempts to use the culture of photography to propagate this concept by self-replicating or dividing like biological genes. This work is for the formation of culture and values in photography, the basis of cultural evolution by using specific rules and patterns, The photographic production was intentionally created in which "uncontrollable change" occurs. DNA is the molecule used to inherit information about life, and memes are the units of genetic information of culture. If evolution by replication occurs according to the genetic information of life and culture that each possesses, I felt that I would like to formulate a hypothesis and visualize "evolution" for photography and study it.
