Athletics of Transcendence – Legitimising computational constructs by analogical imposition

Author Filip VisnjicCategory Members ProcessingPosted on: People

Created by Diogo Tudela, Athletics of Transcendence explores how traditional craftsmanship can appear to validate and provide depth to otherwise flat and meaningless digital constructs. Diogo's project proposes generative construction of a Grand Pavilion that finds its way into printmaking not just as a mere technical enterprise, but as a way of imposing an inherent sense of infinity into finite objects. Diogo believes that this blend of processes allows for "the digital perks of generative construction to be somehow legitimized by an analogical imposition, a physical causality that offers an unutterable spatial depth to an otherwise rather virtual and savourless set of imagery".

"Printmaking has a long-standing tradition in rendering architectural deliriums. From Piranesi’s dungeons to Boullée’s mausoleums, there’s a whole historical spectrum of oneiric or just plain impossible buildings depicted through printmaking. In that sense, the construction and representation of complex architectural models designed through cyclic and recursive algorithms finds a coherent echo in this particular media."

GAD – RC4 / Computational design methodologies for large-scale 3D printing

RC4 in London researches computational design methodologies for large-scale 3D printing with industrial robots, taking logistical, structural and material constraints as design opportunities to generate non-representational architectural spaces with extreme information density.

SimpSymm – Complex procedural geometry for 3d printing

Christoph Bader & Dominik Kolb (deskriptiv) are currently working on an algorithm as an application that produces procedural sculptures for 3D printing.

Making openFrameworks Work – Users and educators gather in Denver, Colorado

In late February 2016, a group of openFrameworks users and educators gathered in Denver Colorado to work on improving the ways people learn and use openFrameworks (OF). They worked intensely for 3.5 days, 12 hours per day, collectively committing more than 800 people-hours to creating and improving openFrameworks learning resources to help students around the world learn how to create with this powerful digital arts and design tool.
