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)
<hi magenta > ACTIVITY PATCH - scaling </hi>
</note>
<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
