COgITOR: pressing fluids with light: Diego Torazza on optical memory in liquids
From the very beginning of his involvement in COgITOR, Diego Torazza recognized both the complexity and the remarkable potential of the project. At its core was a bold idea: pressing fluids with light – using optical stimulation to influence and encode behavior within a liquid medium.
This concept opens the door to what can be described as a form of optical memory in fluids – a dynamic, light-driven interaction capable of storing and processing information in ways that challenge traditional, solid-state computing paradigms.
While still at an exploratory stage, this approach points toward intriguing future developments, where light-controlled liquid systems could contribute to new forms of adaptive and unconventional computation.
