“Quantum Jungle” interactive art installation which visualizes quantum physics, shown in Italy.

Philipp Artus
Showed generative visuals in Burning Man this summer.
Shows many images and videos of the progress made in his generative fish and jelly fish.
He learned initially from The Nature of Code book.
Rachel
From School of Machines, Making and Make Believe.
Approaches technology from the human perspective, questioning why, how, for what we use it. The most recent show made by her students took place in a park open air (across the school), which was the first time they did that. Usually exhibitions take place in closed places.
In the “Signals” program they came up with ideas about how to communicate in totalitarian regimes. One project created by two women flew drones in specific ways to draw numbers in the air, which could then be decoded with a mobile camera.
Another project was created by a pianist, Julian Zyklus.

Started programming at age 9. Used Processing for many years, three.js and OpenFrameworks. Lately using OPENRNDR (https://openrndr.org/)) which is written in Kotlin.
Got a grant to work on his visuals. Performed live with Floating Spectrum.
Been trying to reproduce life (things that are born and live and reproduce and die). Uses a keytar shaped wireless midi controller because he doesn’t like the aesthetic of standing being a computer on stage. It’s also more expressive, different from turning knobs on a midi controller.
Been trying many different approaches. Cells that divide until they fill the screen. Played with particles that move but don’t really interact with each other, or with a flocking algorithm. Shows bouncing particles and a rotation emerges after a while.
Then went into the physarum algorithm. Demonstrates the algorithm running. Experimented with “water drops” damaging the trails.
Based on a workshop by arsiliath
Nuño
