Algae Chorus is a sound installation that collaborates with living algae, in real time, transforming their movement and photosynthesis process into sounds. The algae utilize the audience’s collective carbon exhalations within the exhibition space, revealing the mutual dependencies between humans and photosynthetic organisms.

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.

Wanderers is a collaborative project between Neri Oxman + Mediated Matter Group, Christoph Bader & Dominik Kolb to create four digitally grown and 3d printed wearables.

Morphogenetic Creations is a collection of works that explore the nature of complex forms that can be produced by digital simulation of growth systems.

Meanders is a generative system driven by the interaction of growing agents. The agents are governed by conditions, allowed to wonder and their paths converted to object, outputted as OBJ and rendered.

Whilst we are pretty much all aware of the implications of 3-D printing as a process of making any arbitrary object at the push of a button, it is exactly what living organisms have been up to since the invention of multicellular life. Designers at IDEO have teamed up with scientists at the Lim Lab at the University of California, San […]

Visual programming languages, languages that create programs by the manipulation of graphical elements, as opposed to specifying lines of text, have seen an increased popularity in recent years both in audio and video synthesis..

In the past few months Marcin Ignac has been exploring Space colonization, an algorithm simulating growth of plants. Marcin explains the algorithm as 6 “simple” steps: 1. Populate possible growth space with growth hormons. 2. For each hormone find the nearest bud. 3. Grow each bud towards it's neighbor hormons. If there is none, kill...

Created by Jeremy Awon and based on his processing sketch from about three years ago, rgb petri allows you to grow colors like bacteria in a petri dish and explore the spectrum of your iPhone & iPad display. Each perimeter pixel copies itself outwards, with slightly mutated color. Tap anywhere to start growth, tapping once in a […]

Hyphae is a new collection of jewellery from Nervous System (Jessica Rosenkrantz and Jesse Louis-Rosenberg). Inspired by the vein structures that carry fluids through organisms from the leaves of plants to our own circulatory systems, the team created a Cinder simulation which uses physical growth principles to build sculptural, organic structur...

Founded in 2006, DDM & RobertoPugliese is collaboration between DDM Daniela Di Maro and Roberto Pugliese who live and work in Milan and Naples. DDM has a degree in “Visual Arts” ‘Academy of Fine Arts of Naples and Roberto Pugliese graduated in Electronic Music at the Conservatorio San Pietro a Majella in Naples. “Thei...

Interactive generative art application we mentioned few months back from award winning computer animator and software designer Glenn Marshall is now finally available in the AppStore. Explore and interact with an endlessly generating world of organic visuals using drag and pinch to pan, move and rotate through space, pause / play, save...
