TASK 04: PROCESS IMAGES

TASK 04: WORKING IN GRASSHOPPER

Experimenting with attractor points; the height of the boxes/hexagons on the grid increases the further away they are from the attractor point.

TASK 02: SKETCH IDEAS

The idea here was to break down the water strider's movement across the water into a geometrical pattern... The water strider scatters and deforms the water (defined as a hexagrid) with the pushing power of its legs.

TASK 02: SOURCE IMAGES AND THOUGHTS

Aakash Nihalani./ aakashnihalani.com Creates "parallel projections" / street art with coloured tape, as well as interactive art: the shape deforms as you move your mouse across it and through it. Below: an explanation of the hydrophobic effect, as well as an explanation and "3d" representation of the structure of water. Click the image to take you to the link.

A scan from Detail magazine. A light tree house / tent structure is created a hexagon. Details of the structure's joints

TASK 02: FOUND GRASSHOPPER TUTORIAL

PATTERNING BASED ON POINT DISTANCE WITH GRASSHOPPER

My first look into the use of an attractor point to deform a pattern.

WATER STRIDER

Moves “at the equivalent of 600km per hour” across a thin membrane on top of the water. The plume patterns created in the coloured water show how much force the water strider’s legs generate as they push across the surface of the water. All this is captured using a super high speed camera…

RAIN DROPS MORPHING

Rain drops fall as a perfect spheres but get squished because of air resistance. Some rain drops morph and vanish completely, others burst like over-filled balloons.

BAHAMAS SAND DUNES


I like the wavy patterns created by the movement of water across the sand, reminds me of a ribbon folded back and forth.
