Network Maintenance – A node in the living system
Network Maintenance is a series of networked wall-mounted devices that explore the relationship between ownership, care, and collective responsibility. Each device consists of a custom construction housing, a display, and number of analog controls...
Hyper & Cosmic – A book where typography transcends Its linguistic roots
Hypertype takes emotion and sentiment analysis data as it’s main content. This content is given form through the organisation of typographic signs, letters and symbols. The work (and the book) attempts to draw our attention to the topic of what ha...
Liminal Ring – (Un)controllable currents in the persistence of chaos
Liminal Ring visualizes humanity's obsession with controlling nature while exposing the limitations of such interventions. By introducing laminar flows—artificially directed streams—into naturally occurring turbulence, this project explores the bo...
Life and Death of an Algorithm – 33,782 dice tapestry
Continuig their exploration of fate and chance using dice in their works, Life and Death of an Algorithm 2024 (33,782 White dice, evolutionary algorithm) by Troika is the latest (and largest) itteration of the work they produced–currently on displ...
Continuum Resonance + PolyNodes
Created by Daito Manabe, Continuum Resonance is an installation where autonomous artworks installed in each space of "VS" interact with each other by sharing mathematical algorithms, music programming, and 3D architectural data.
Equilibrium Morphologies – Responsive Modeling Framework for the Form-Finding of Membrane Structures
'Equilibrium Morphologies' investigates how complex articulated membrane structures can be erected and tensioned through emergent behaviours of interacting forces and explore multiple states of equilibrium.
Catastrophic Combinations – Recursion, Contingency and Failure
Created by Jonghong Park, 'Catastrophic Combinations' explores a recursive system of mechanical repetition where every movement is open to unpredictability and fault.
Floating Codes – The (spatial) topology of an artificial neural network
'Floating Codes' is a site-specific light and sound installation that explores the inner workings and hidden aesthetics of artificial neural networks – the fundamental building blocks of machine learning systems or artificial intelligence. The exh...
XXI Century Herbario Novo – Artificial Botany by fuse*
'Artificial Botany' by fuse* is an ongoing project which explores the latent expressive capacity of botanical illustrations through the use of machine learning algorithms.
A Natural History of Networks / SoftMachine – A speculation about a heterogeneous technological culture
'A Natural History of Networks / SoftMachine' is an electrochemical algorithmic performance that probes an alternative computational and technological material regime.
Habitat of Recognition – Reading and writing of Earth’s landscapes
Created by Luiz Zanotello, Habitat of Recognition explores the material dimensions of digital technologies by examining the intra-active tensions between the distinction and convergence of matter.
Synthetic Pollenizer – Robotic interventions in the real-world ecological systems
Created by Michael Candy, "Synthetic Pollenizer" is a conceptual intervention in real-world ecological systems using artificial flowers. Inspired by natural pollenizers, these robotic replicas artificially pollinate bees, integrating into the repr...
Ethical Autonomous Vehicles – Complexities of moral and ethical reasoning for driveless systems
Created by Matthieu Cherubini, Ethical Autonomous Vehicles project explores the implications of near-future scenario where most vehicles on the road are autonomous.
AADRL – Behavioural Complexity; Mobile, Self-Aware and Self-Assemble
Exploring behavior based design systems that are self-aware, mobile, and self-structure / assemble. The following is the work AADRL Spyropoulos Design Lab at the Architectural Association School of Architecture, in London.
Hybrid Forms: New Growth / Exploration of morphogenesis by Andy Lomas
Following from the Morphogenetic Creations we covered on CAN some months ago , Hybrid Forms: New Growth is the latest in the series of "Cellular Forms: an Artistic Exploration of Morphogenesis" research work by Andy Lomas.
Collimation – Two interlocked microscopes stimulate artificial neural growth
Created by Brad Todd, Collimation takes a form of basic form of artificial intelligence, where the visual stimuli is translated, in a performative act of seeing with the resulting data that takes the form of a neuron.
Rec All – A puzzling universe of (multitouch) creatures
Created by Romain Cazier at ECAL, Rec All is an interpretation of the geometrical style puzzle games, widely popular on mobile. Taking some of this genre's features, Romain designed a singular universe, where strange creatures with a cyclic behavi...
Beyond Blood – Emotional attachment and inheritance by algorithm
‘Beyond Blood’ is a project that imagines a legal system where algorithms take over the inheritance process where the deceased has not left a will and the state has to distribute the estates.
12 – Sound sequencer comprised of 12 digitally controlled music boxes
12 is a sound machine comprised of 12 custom built music boxes with specially tuned lamellae controlled by on/off switches and knobs.
Aerosol – Transferring a virtual particle system into the physical
Aerosol explores what happens when we reverse the common process of transferring physical systems into virtual ones. In this project 16 servo motors control the undulated landscape setting iron balls in continuous motion.
Morphogenetic Creations by Andy Lomas
Morphogenetic Creations is a collection of works that explore the nature of complex forms that can be produced by digital simulation of growth systems.
edding 850 Font by Büro Destruct + Collaborative Realtime Text-Editor
Couple of months ago Büro Destruct got a call from ‘edding’ – famous for their permanent markers – and they wanted BD to design a font for them based on the edding 850, their boldest marker. For those that have used the marker kn...
