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 invited Michal Piasecki 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 the [...]

Processing developments
I saw a couple of new Processing developments and I though I will wrap them up into a post. Here they are: Alasdair Turner shared a single hidden layer perceptron on Open Processing. This is one of few neural networks which can be found on OP. It was published in the Msc Adaptive Architecture 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 House [...]

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 [...]

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 post follows the previous one on plugging Excel to Processing. As part of the Msc AAC I was presented with a task of visualizing data from scanning for blue-tooth devices in the city of Bath. I was working on this with Zeta Kachri, Ankon Mitra and Kensuke Hotta. I’m skeptical about usefulness of the [...]

As part of the Msc AAC at the Bartlett I’m currently working on plugging Processing to Excel in order to generate 3d dimensional data representations. It’s a group work with Zeta Kachri, Ankon Mitra and Kensuke Hotta. You can see a trial 3d print underneath – final 3d prints should be ready by the end [...]

I’ve been working for the Msc AAC on a paper which looks at the possibilities of devising a research methodology based on D’Arcy Thompson’s Cartesian Transformations Method (“On Growth and Form”, 1918), which would be relevant to the call for science of buildings expressed in Philip Steadman’s “Evolution of Designs” (1979). The above is a [...]

The video above is the final presentation for a Processing and Adaptive Architecture 1 course at the Msc Adaptive Architecture and Computation. There are two final stages of the work. 2d: Underwater Ballet and 3d: Connective Particles Ballet. Underwater Ballet (written in collaboration with Agata Guzik) was on display on the Bix Facade of Kunsthaus [...]
