The main focus was to explore the visual possibilities of generative systems. My definition of generative systems at that time was very simple: generative systems are systems, letting you create complex visualizations which aren’t possible to create by the normal approach (edit objects manually).

After doing quite a lot of experiments, I decided to do a small exemplary installation to show others the rich possibilities of this topic. The installation was based of three different kinds of examples:

  • Lindenmayer-system
    Originally a model for the growth processes of plant development but modified for more interesting results
  • particles
    An idealised simulation of 150 particles interfering together in space
  • 3d mesh generator
    Two modified mathematical models by Paul Bourke (astro-math-guru)

The installation showed during the grand opening the visitors a selection of projects. Every project had a wooden block as representative to select and start the presentation.
