Back from Toshare.it, where I saw some interesting projects and met very interesting persons…
From there, I’d like to suggest you a project that shows how design could get inspiration from complexity. This is maybe the first step a designer could take confronting complexity, and therefore projects like this are not only fascinating but also promising for a new culture of complexity.
It is a simple adaptation of flocking algorithms for a site-specific video projection on an architecture (design-complexity-locality linked altogether?), designed by Turin-based Todo Design design studio.
Here is the project:
ARTIFICIAL.DUMMIES from todo.to.it on Vimeo.
And here is the design process…
Artificial Dummies, the process from todo.to.it on Vimeo.
These flocking algorithms come from the work of Craig Reynolds (where you can find a lot of links about flocking and swarm algorithms).
