Serendicity

Jorge Brake

A mobile application that encourages serendipitous exploration and discovery of city neighborhoods.

Description

Serendicity is an attempt to upend the normative travel experience. Travelers often have a specific destination in mind when they arrive to a new city. Rather than taking the fastest route there, why not explore a more interesting one? Leveraging open APIs and frameworks, the mobile app generates walking routes based on location, time, and preferences. The end result: less structure, more serendipity, and hopefully a different travel experience.

An exhibition of algorithmically created art and graphic design, by students of Rune Madsen's "Printing Code" class.

Description

What happens when you merge the two seemingly distinct fields of computer programming and graphic design? How can a deliberate, algorithmic automaton be used to convey a designer's frissons of creative genius? Featuring various examples of “Algorithmic Art”, this showcase of works created through computer code examines just such questions.

Created by students of Rune Madsen's “Printing Code” class.
