Ars Electronica 2009
Krystian Kwiecinski and Michal Piasecki just came back from Linz, where we took part in creative coding and digital fabrication workshop organized by Fluid Forms. For a couple of days a group of computational designers was able to use a Dimension 3d printer and a laser cutter, which are part of the Fab Lab facility [...]

Hannes Walter and Stephen Williams from Fluid Forms are going to run a Creative Coding workshop during the Ars Electronica Festival in Linz. It will start this Friday (4th of September) and last till Tuesday 8th. An excerpt from the description of the workshop is below: “Personalised products resulting from the marriage of geometry, code and data are [...]

Some time ago a discussion emerged in the blogosphere about the question whether 3d printing will make it to the mainstream (take a look at my post about this debate). Today 3d printers seem to be increasingly taken for granted and rightly so, especially if one looks at the scope of the products currently made [...]

Both additive and subtractive digital fabrication techniques are getting significant amount of attention from the generative design and mass customization communities. For some reason formative technologies are not spoken of that much. RoboFold might change it though. It is a new formative computer aided manufacturing technology currently under development in Design London Business Incubator. The [...]

In short – the idea of desktop 3d printing is fascinating. Imagine a world where everyone is able to produce anything at any time. Well, we are not quite there yet, but a review of products which are actually produced, not prototyped using additive digital manufacturing techniques might be useful to establish how far are [...]

I recently took part in the iRealize conference and workshop in Turin. The workshop was indeed an intense brainstorming session about what is refereed to as “post-industrial design”. It was facilitated by Massimo Menichinelli from Open Peer-to-Peer Design and Giorgio Olivero from ToDo. Stephen Williams from Fluid Forms was there as well. What is post-industrial [...]

bottom-up design
I’m discussing the notion of bottom-up approach to design in my newest article on sztuka-architektury.pl (full text in polish can be found here). I begin with a couple of examples from everyday surroundings. A flock of birds serves as an example for the argument about systems governed only by a set of local relationships. It’s [...]

The New Kind of Search Engine
Stephen Wolfram is known both for his monumental The New Kind of Science and Mathematica developed by Wolfram Research. Now he has entered search engines’ domain with his new product. It’s called Wolfram|Alpha. Google is really good with providing you with a list of websites which contain the answer to your query. Wolfram’s approach is [...]

Digital Baroque in CSW
Last evening I had a pleasure of taking part in a panel discussion with professor Ewa Kuryłowicz and Ola Wasilkowska. Krzysztof Sołoducha was the moderator of the panel. The discussion followed a projection of an hour-long interview with Zaha Hadid. This is where the notion of “digital baroque” comes from. Treating Hadid’s work as a [...]
