Adam Little @ CIID

Tuesday night marked the beginning of the open lecture series organized by CIID and DKDS. The lecture was titled “It’s More Fun to Compute” and was given by The Product aka Dennis and Patrick aka our instructors of the past two weeks.

Speaking on the topic of computational design, they exhibited a variety of projects from across several disciplines while also discussing their own studio’s output. Listed below are some of my favorite examples of computational/procedural/generative projects from their lecture, plus some more that I stumbled upon over the past week. Enjoy!

We are currently working on small programs that visually analyze data, although it is more of an exercise in programming. Using the Nintendo Wii remote as our input device, a group of us recorded the head and hand movements of our home country’s standard greeting. What we decide to do with the data beyond that is up to each of us.
