Breeding Objects Experiment 01
Breeding Objects Experiment 01 is my first experiment with configurators for mass customization of products over the Internet, conducted as part of PhD research at the Bartlett School of Graduate Studies. The experiment is a comparison of two types of configurators: “parametric” configurators and genetic algorithms configurators. In parametric configurators users have to specify the [...]

Warsaw as an Emergent Structure is an initiative to acknowledge that a city is a complex system. It is also a book featuring texts from researchers and theoreticians from various fields, centered around the concept of complexity in urban environment. Ola Wasilkowska, who initiated it, aims at creating a multidisciplinary round table, aiming at developing [...]

Evolve rings where commissioned and are distributed by Fluid Forms. I have co-designed them together with Krystian Kwiecinski and they are available for purchase on Fluid Forms site since today. They where designed with an aid of an artificial selection in genetic algorithm (GA). I have developed the phenotype together with Krystian and then wrote [...]

NURBS surface in Processing
Couple of quick impressions from a Processing sketch, which I’m currently developing. The sketch is going to become a basis of my first PhD experiment: comparison of a “parametric” interface and a “genetic algorithm” interface of a configurator for mass customization of furniture. The experiment will actually be conducted online, so more details will follow. [...]

Aleksandra Wasilkowska has recently invited me to collaborate on the design of “Unusually Rare Events / Distribution of Noovantgarde” exhibition in Warsaw’s Centre of Contemporary Arts (CSW). Detailed description of the exhibition, written by it’s curator, Lukasz Ronduda, is available from CSW. You can find a short excerpt below:
“Extremely Rare Events / Distribution of [...]

Previously I have written in general about Creative Coding / Laser Cutting session organized by Fluid Forms. Now it’s time to write about what have I actually done during those 2 days.
I have focused on the engraving feature of 500 speedy laser cutter. The software driving it has a capacity to read raster images and [...]

The video above is the final presentation of my second term programming project at the Msc Adaptive Architecture and Computation at the Bartlett, UCL. Underneath you can find a detailed description of the software as well as some photos of phenotypes fabricated for the 2nd term final exhibition which took place at Bartlett’s Wates [...]

I’m currently working on external embryogeny genetic algorithm software. Previously I have posted about the artificial selection step incorporated in it already. Time which it takes to produce particular individual on a laser cutter serves as a fitness function in this step.
Now, I have incorporated an artificial selection step into it. I took a look [...]

I have started working on a genetic algorithm which breeds object suitable for laser cutting. So far I’m only using artificial selection for the choice of most fit individuals. User is able to define the amount of time which the object will take to cut on a specific laser cutter. This value then serves as [...]

This week I was taking part in three-days Generative Components workshop at the University of Westminster in London. Half of the first day was dedicated for introduction to the GC environment and model-based transactions. Later Sean Hanna and Alasdair Turner gave several tutorials on script in GC. The scripting language is C#, which turns out [...]
