This course challenges students to combine three technologies – object-oriented programming, 3D modeling and digital fabrication – toward making an everyday data object.

Description

Sculpting Data into Everyday Objects is designed, on the one hand, as pure creative experimentation with technical tools, and on the other hand, as exercise in critical thinking and conceptual strategy. The ultimate goal of this course for each student, in attempting to converge these two processes, to develop a dual attitude towards technology that will empower them to master any tool as a vehicle for expression.

energy to light

Kate Godwin, Yu Ji

This light overlays dynamic daily energy consumption data with annual per capita energy consumption data to show where and in what quantities we are consuming power.

Description

We began with five years of UN Electrical Power Consumption per Capita data from 41 countries from the years 1991, 1996, 2001, 2006, and 2011. To add another layer of meaning to this dataset we sorted the countries by the percentage of renewable electrical energy each country uses. Each data point has a pyramidal structure that was 3D printed in clear plastic to represent the former dataset. Each the 205 3D prints was sorted and then glued to a CNCed wooden frame.

Each printed data point will have a printed circuit with a surface mount LED. The brightness of the 41 sets of 5 LEDs will be controlled by an LED driver that is adjusting the intensity of the individual lights based on how much energy is generally consumed around the world at that time of day. One day will be mapped to ten minutes.

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.
