Michal’s new article on mass customization and the paradox of choice is published in 2+3d. The text features the works of Nervous System, Studio Ludens and Fluid Forms and touches on Michal’s PhD research subject – developing configurators which prevent the occurence of the paradox of choice. Michal is working on tools which enable intuitive […]

Above are a couple of pictures showing manufacturing process of Evolve Ring Silver, commissioned and distributed by Fluid Forms and co-designed with Krystian Kwiecinski. The manufacturing process begins with a wax 3d print of a positive form. Then a rubber mold is created with the use of the print and once it is ready the […]

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 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 a purpose-built GA tool […]

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 […]

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 […]

Right after WF_091 was finished in Warsaw I went to upper Austria to join Laser Cutting Session organized by Fluid Forms. It was a great and thought-provoking experience. Many thanks to Stephen and Hannes for having me. Throughout three intensive days we tested the capacity of speedy 500 laser cutter. A really big variety of […]
