Generative Art Links Some links to Generative Art, Math & Fractals, and other creative ways of creating computional imagery. The list is not meant to be exhaustive: rather, it is a list of my favorite links. Generative Art Software General-Purpose Software Processing is probably the most used platform for Generative Art. It is an “open source programming language and integrated development environment (IDE) built for the electronic arts and visual design communities”. Nodebox – A Python based alternative to Processing. vvvv is “a toolkit for real time video synthesis”. PureData a “real-time graphical dataflow programming environment for audio, video, and graphical processing.” Specific Systems Context Free Art – uses Context Free Design Grammars to generate 2D images. Structure Synth – my own attempt to extend Context Free Art into three dimensions. TopMod3D – “is a free, open source, portable, platform independent topological mesh modeling system that allows users to create high genus 2-manifold meshes”. Ready.

Make Circuit Boards with Vinyl Masks and Etching Hello everybody !!! One of the most aggravating things when creating DIY circuits is the making of the PCB. Up till now, DIY methods require alot of work and time on each board. If you have struggled with other methods of DIY PCB prototyping you've likely figured out the hard way that they can be frustrating - provide spotty results - and require alot of steps and work. Well here's another method to throw into the bag of tricks that might just work out for you! WHAT YOU NEED: - Prepared vinyl mask (if you don't have a vinyl cutter - sign shops and many hackerspaces do!) That's about it! We will skim over how to design and cut the pcb design into vinyl and at this point assume that you have a cutter or know someone with access to one (local hackerspace or even a local sign shop!) See the additional pictures in this intro for some educational pictures of the preparation of a vinyl sticker in this step. Next Step!

Pure Data Document Actions Miller S. Puckette's "vanilla" distribution of Pd Experimental releases There are no experimental releases available at the moment. Project Description Pd (aka Pure Data) is a real-time graphical programming environment for audio, video, and graphical processing. Pd was created to explore ideas of how to further refine the Max paradigm with the core ideas of allowing data to be treated in a more open-ended way and opening it up to applications outside of audio and MIDI, such as graphics and video. It is easy to extend Pd by writing object classes ("externals") or patches ("abstractions"). Pd is free software and can be downloaded either as an OS-specific package, source package, or directly from CVS.

Context Free Art Cut Circuit Boards in Copper Sheets on Vinyl Cutter The circuits that you can cut on the Roland are limited by the width of the pen knife. As a rule of thumb, anything that you can cut with a lot of time and effort with an x-acto can be cut by the Roland, but if there are things that are too small for that they will probably also be too small for the vinyl cutter. To use the cad.py software that goes with a lot of the FabLab machines, save your circuit as a .png. Use the .png as your input, and after clicking the cam button select .camm (for the roland) as your output. For the vinylcutter you only need one contour, check all of the contour lines to make sure that none of your paths are being skipped.

The program follows the instructions in a few seconds to create images that can contain millions of shapes. Chris Coyne created a small language for design grammars called CFDG.

Conductive Ink + Projection Mapping = Magic Storytelling As part of their presence at the inaugural Retail Design Expo, Dalziel and Pow created a space to stand out from the crowd, a conversation starter: experimental, innovative, playful, integrated, exploratory and, to many visitors, surprising. The idea came from the work they created for Portuguese childrenswear brand Zippy, magnified as a prototype to test ideas and push the range of interactions and feedback. Screen-printed illustrations spring to life when touched, as conductive ink triggers a host of playful digital animations – a mix of informative and charming content, from product information to brand stories to chasing ducks. Pushing the boundaries of storytelling within a space, making it fun and engaging, putting ideas before hardware. A total of 48 interactions and over 100 unique animations make up the broad spectrum of content on the stand, from simple sound toys to more complex exchanges that layer projection mapping and movement around a physical space.
