Now I'm happy to report that metaphorical.net just had a major renovation! It is now a WordPress blog, and new works are coming along.

My latest project is Blossfeldt Fractals. It is a generative composition of plant forms based on photographs by Karl Blossfeldt. The gorwing algorithms used is similar to L-System, but with additional image processing functions.
Don't forget to check out the video which describes the process of making Blossfeldt Fractals.
Work with my friends Ben Hooker and Shona Kitchen on this interesting project for San Jose International Airport.
The machine prints out a souvenir ticket, on which there is a photo of the "passenger", photographs from remote webcams, and all kind of interesting information and trivia about the airport.
