#generative modeling

Tweet 2 Form

A bot by Andrew Heumann that performs parametric geometric operations when someone tweets at it. It understands eleven different formal operations, which is more than enough to produce a wide variety of results. It uses the tweet ID as a seed for the exact parameters it uses, so identical input texts will still produce different outputs.

I gather that the back end is powered by Grasshopper definitions, though I’m not too sure of the details. Still, it’s a good reminder that the CAD/industrial design world has their own tools for generative modeling, and that there’s many opportunities for cross-pollination between that and the more aesthetic, entertainment focused generative community.

Some more abstract work, very little geometry, more generatively modeled with the modifier stack generated by BY_GEN and rendered with EEVEE in blender. See it in motion on youtube

The focus of my design practice is to research and experiment new feasable scenarios related to design and production. The shift of paradigm between industrial revolution and informational revolution and the related effects on to the design practice. Generative algorithms, computational strategies, interactive design systems, digital fabrication, personal manufacturing, open source, co-design, this are the trigger concepts that drive my research and experimentation toward the post-industrial scenarios.
