g01i02a30 – Benjamin Dillenburge
Benjamin Dillenburger’s Structures and Digital Catenary sets collect images generated using shape grammars in Processing adapted to create crystalline wire-frames that are both architectural and biomorphic. The Structure set documents the evolution of dense symmetrical canopy’s – its not hard to imagine these structures as a proposal for a futurist glass house in a Gothic style.
Justin Livi’s justinlivi.Geode() set contains outputs from a Processing sketch that accurately resemble banded Agates – a micro-crystalline silicate with arrangements of concentric deposition rings. Some of the Geode patterns have the quality of water colour work, mimicking the way suspended inks create diffusion filaments as they disperse through water on paper.
Leonardo Solaas Affine Swarms are created by generating autonomous agents that leave trails of their movement under the effect of Affine Transformations. As the agents move from random to more constrained behaviour the outputs develop from noisy textures to rhythmically modulated geometric lattices.
