Grace Hannah Park’s graduate thesis project at MDes Basel reveals new possibilities for the moving poster through an exploration of physical sensors and creative-coding.

Alba is a light sculpture with 8 programs that explore gradients using different algorithmic approaches. The object has two knobs – one to select the program, the other to change a parameter, which does something different in each program. Some gradients are static, some are dynamic, producing subtle variations in the display and the environment.

Matthew Plummer-Fernandez continues his exploration of glitched objects and their existence in the physical world. The latest set, titled Digital Natives, uses everyday items such as toys and detergent bottles that are 3D scanned using a digital camera, subjected to algorithms that distort and finally 3D printed in colour resin/sandstone..
