Generative Systems in Design and Media Art

Generative methods have been employed since ancient Greece and permeate all facets of our culture in all fields. Through studying traditional and modern generative methods and learning necessary generative tools, this class empowers students to use generative systems as a tool for better design and stronger media art.

Future Vintage

CLC 18.5 Julia Rachel Pak

Inspired by vintage graphic clothing, I used various tools to create unique patterns of iconic people/scenes. The design process allowed for creative freedom, experimenting and exploring different tools, colors, patterns, and styles. I based my designs to fit my initial inspiration of vintage clothing as well as incorporated abstract design elements to print and produce into wearable generative art.

Why?

IID/IS 18.5 Daniel Jung Park

Stress is the invisible buildup of attacks that hit at one time and fade soon after. Its the whiplash of consequences hitting one another. I ask why Stress when the result is inevtiable? Or is it? Utilizing generated particles via Touch Designer, this video serves to comprehend what stress feels like from an visual, with a little help from audio.

Antsy

This transition of emotions although subtle sometimes and extreme in other instances has shown us how the pandemic and its developments around the world have affected.

Some feel “numb” others feel “jittery”
