Blossfeldt Fractals

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.

Tumtum Tree

nature_tumtumtree.jpg

Tumtum Tree is a dynamic robotic pot-plant, actively maximizing the photosynthesis of your beloved little plant by moving its 3 legs in awkward ways.

It is part of my graduate thesis Nature and Machine, shown at the Royal College of Art Show in 2001.

Eichstatt

A reactive hyrid plant that grows, blossoms, and withers. The leaves and flowers are picked from The Garden of Eichstatt, a 17th century botanical book. Eichstatt is an online version of an interactive installation (with jars and suction cups) shown at the Royal College of Art Show in 2001.

Lsys

Based on the Lindenmayer system, Lsys has an easy-to-use interface and allows you to draw trees, ferns, snowflakes, or simply a profound mess.

Bacteria

Each bacteria cell divides and generates new cells, but cells will attack each other and turn pale as their energy drops.
