sessions: Generative Geometry

Session 06 - Fri 29th May

SESSION SECTIONS


<note warning>STUDENT PRESENTATION - WHAT 3 WORDS


students share their response to the brief last week

(25 mins)

</note>


<note tip >EXERCISE - DRAWING SHAPES


is this possible?

listen to my instructions

interpret them

place shapes in a composition

change the colour / line thickness

calming music

take a screen shot and post on chat

is this algorithmic art?

</note>


<note important >DEMONSTRATION - WAVE GENERATORS


how to plug in

eg - video mixer, colouriser

modes - sine wave, sawtooth

hertz - 1 per second

phase - 2 x movies, 2 x video projectors 50%

reset / once - 2 x movies, 2 x video projectors 50%

</note>


<note tip >EXERCISE - SHAPE DISCO


1. create a simple patch with SHAPE > PROJECTOR

2. copy and paste to create 5 patches in total

3. give each SHAPE a different different style (colours, lines, facets, rotation)

4. attach a wave generator to each 'patch' - attach to a SHAPE input, or a PROJECTOR input

5. choose a different WAVE FORM and FREQUENCY for each WAVE GENERATOR

Ingredients:

5 x shapes

5 x projector

5 x wave generator

<note tip >EXERCISE - SCALING


Scale these 10 scenes to fit their output targets (eg - overlay the red and the blue thing)

<note warning >ASSIGNMENT - SCREEN SAVER


using only only the following actors (MO MEDIA) create an infinite / generative animation

- SHAPES

- TEXT DRAW / TEXT/URE

- VIDEO FX

- WAVE GENERATORS

- LIMIT SCALE VALUE

- ALPHA MASK / VIDEO MIXER / EFFECT MIXER

- SCENE JUMPERS
