"Digital Form Finding" is like you are driving a submarine in a deep invisible ocean.  You are continuously seeking your next target coordinate as you move from point A to point B, which in physics we call "vector" that is constantly changing in this case.  Your move curve is determined by calibration and interaction with obstacles on the route every seconds, so these "generative agencies" give it a life affecting a straight line to be curvilinear.  As the form finding continues, the 3-D curves become "DENSE", and they start relating each other in the situational narratives.  The imaginary scene script of this live drama is visualized as I hire parametric "fish clones" that  are generated by my Rhino Grasshopper coding machine.  Those hundreds of actors play their role as they move along the dense curves, "situational mold", and then project out interesting stories of the place.   You observe the drama and figure out the fish stories when you read the patterns of individual or group of fish.  So the project program, "Fish Market" was proposed this way.
