No glue or screws were used in the assembly of the chair, since the slices were created in such a way that they could be press-fitted together.

Avgo has been featured in Core77 ‘s design galleries and front-page.

It is a reaction to the “sustainable everything” trend in design, advertising and consuming. (un)sustainable aims to highlight the paradoxical behavior of “environmentally conscious” uber-cosumers by creating and highlighting another paradox. It uses sustainable forms of energy, which are globally recognizable as sources of good / clean energy to produce the opposite effect of the expected one and harm the environment. The devices are connected to the electrical grid and use wind power to sense the intensity at which they need to operate.

The operation of the devices ensures that non-green energy is consumed when least needed, while wasting natural resources.

The aesthetic of the devices was inspired by Tristan Perich’s 1-bit Symphony and the work of Peter Vogel.

This project wouldn’t be possible without the very kind donation of anemometer rotors by Inspeed.

A GLSL shader was used to change the transparency of branches based on the direction of its normals, creating images that resembled drawings.

Such an exploration is often performed on the screen, but in this project a more traditional artistic medium is used, that of the canvas.
A rotating mechanism is used that contains canisters of paint and as the mechanism spins, paint of different colors is splattered on the canvas.

It uses simple elements to produce visually rich patterns. Great variation in terms of output is achieved by using sine waves as graphics generators.

de:formed is coded in openFrameworks and was created for the Big Screens class at ITP, taught by Daniel Shiffman. Without Dan’s help and support it wouldn’t have happened.

It turned out to be a bit hard to accommodate the project needs and a heavy workload at ITP, but the project was finished and displayed at the STRP Festival that took place 18 – 28 Nov. 2010 in Eindhoven.

The visualization was created in Cinder and used the binned particle system of Kyle McDonald to handle a large number of particles.

This idea was developed in consideration of summer street closures and block parties. As cars are cleared-off of streets and the sun sets, life forms made out of light begin to emerge from street objects such as fire hydrants and newspaper stands. When participants yell, speak, or sing at these street objects, the light creatures are encouraged to come out of hiding.

Latent Light Life has been displayed in the ITP Spring ’10 Show and the Vimeo World gallery organized as part of the Vimeo Festival + Awards 2010 in NYC.

Something else that I am going to add is an audio reactive camera.
acousticBoids was implemented in OpenFrameworks and the source code can be downloaded from here.
