Configurator [Processing]

Author Filip VisnjicCategory Members ProcessingPosted on: People

Configurator is an interactive 3D music visualization system created by Kristopher Collins aka movax using Processing. A live audio signal is analyzed and the data is used to generate and modulate 3D objects.

The system was designed to acheive a balance between generative complexity and human aesthetic sense. For example, color palettes (human created) are harvested and mutated (programmatically) from the Adobe Kuler website. Similarly, the 3D forms are based on user created 2D outlines. These outlines are then extruded parametrically in many different ways, all able to be controlled by the audio signal. This allows the user to specify a set of aesthetic guidelines for object creation, while still exploiting unexpected generative avenues.

Mataerial – New method of additive 3D manufacturing

The project is a new method of additive manufacturing that allows for creating 3D objects on any given working surface independently of its inclination and smoothness, and without a need of additional support structures.

30 pieces of molded plastic, 2 HD projectors – hovering in the dark of Berlin’s 401contemporary gallery is Robert Seidel’s latest projection sculpture. Suspended from the ceiling and drenched in waves of light the amorph, skeletal structure comes alive – intricate, fragile, otherworldly.

Elements – Interactive Installation by Britzpetermann for BDF

Britzpetermann was commissioned to create an installation for the entrance hall that draws attention to the topic energy. The team decided to break down the topic energy and chose the 4 elements, the basis of all energy extractions which are used in the park and present in an elegant and interactive way.

Light House – Light and sound installation for Sonos by SoftLab

Commissioned by Sonos, Light House is an interactive light and sound installation created by NY’s SoftLab that responds in real-time to Sonos components. The installation is constructed of a grid of 600 fluorescent light tubes at varying heights and lengths to create an interior volume.
