Crystalyxes are crystalline-like artificial organisms with transparent, iridescent and faceted membrane which forms their main body. They are first protocells to have evolved a triangulated mesh capable of rendering simple material properties like translucency, specular shine, color variation and luminescence. Not resembling any organism found on Earth, their compositions are named after precious stones, with the most common one being lapis lazuli. Rare ruby and emerald compositions are also occasionally observed. Crystalyxes come in 3-bit as well as monochrome variants, with latter being rarer. Structure and dynamics of each crystalyx is guided by behavioral features like reconfiguration (affecting topology) and modulation (affecting geometry). They inhabit both darker and light-abundant environments. Some mimic the color of their environment for camouflage, while others create contrasting shades to intimidate competitors. They are rendered in real-time in your browser and can be interacted with by pulling the tips of their facets.
Kadenze brings together the world’s leading educators, artists, and engineers to create an online community where we can learn art and creative technology. From generative graphics and creative coding to physical modeling synthesis for games and interactive systems, the Kadenze catalog is full of courses designed specifically for artists and it’s growing larger every day.
Created by Belarusian composer Ales Tsurko, ‘microscale’ is a music album generated from random Wikipedia articles where letters are the sequencer steps and the track titles are regular expressions that switch the steps on and off.
‘Material Sequencer’ is an 8-step electromechanical sequencer, designed to emphasise the physical materiality of sound and sound production. The simple usb-powered sound-sculpture takes the sequencing process outside the black box and into the acoustic realm, flaunting its materiality and physicality.
