Intent

The aim was to design an algorithm that could respond to a certain form, by either replicating or reacting, and generating a new one. The incentive, was to let the algorithm take control over the operation but at the same time, monitoring it by not let it exceed the authority of a being.

The terrain, was then, divided into segments, which can be increased or decreased adjusting to how fine the geometry the user needs. Similar function was performed on the object. The centers of these segments were used as control points to modify the geometry. A relationship was developed between the points of the object and terrain using the distance logic; the shorter the length, the lesser the geometry will deform and vice-versa. The form generated was in segments, and each of these segments were treated as a single module. The advantage of this is to help the user in the post-production process. The module was individually modeled and morphed on the object to get the resultant form. The result was entirely algorithm generated and the human association was lost. Hence, a control parameter had to be defined that would limit the authority and clock the algorithm’s role, which would enable the user to direct the flow of the output.

The second part of the experiment involved to take an open surface geometry, symmetrical and asymmetrical, as the subject and morph it around an object into a closed one. This was an initial stage of a venture to respond to the terrain which will be further investigated upon.

The point is that all these geometries are easily adjustable after the process. The user always has access to the elements of the end product from the start point up to the details. It has become possible to generate hundreds of forms by adjusting some simple geometric patterns. 

The motive was an attempt to understand the association between AI and human, and find the most efficient hybrid system. The following experiments would intend to embed the properties of material systems, assembling logics, response towards context and environment in these parameters.
