The Nature of Code Book Project

Can we capture the unpredictable evolutionary and emergent properties of nature in software? Can understanding the mathematical principles behind our physical world world help us to create digital worlds? Also looking at Daniel Shifmans "learning Processing" http://www.learningprocessing.com/
and Reas and Fry's 'Getting started with Processing" just reviewed the robot I made a while ago.

HERE TO THERE Emily Gobeille's Zany parade

HERE TO THERE
poster series for children

A project created in collaboration with Theodore Watson. It was the featured exhibition on Servicio Ejecutivo in March '08.

Here to There ("City" and "Jungle") is the first pair in a series of experimental posters for children that combine science, nature, algorithm and design, to feed their imagination and curiosity.

We developed a suite of software tools using openFrameworks to programmatically build elements based around concepts like algorithm, permutation, cause and effect, and topology to name a few. These elements are the building blocks for the different worlds and become a part of the stories being told. The programmatic designed elements are mixed with hand illustrated forms and quirky creatures to create a bizarre hybrid world that talks to both hemispheres of the brain. Some of the programmed elements are quite obvious but others like extracted elevation data from a Hawaiian volcano and craters from the surface of the Moon are much more subtle. We even have the waveform of our voice as a part of the landscape.
