Project 1 -Chance Based Art



Purpose:

The goal of the project is to make a model driven by curl noise to create an interesting pattern. I was inspired by the artist Christoph Bader and his Ringe series. I wanted to create something similar but not completely emulate it. I want this to be a large sculpture which would be presented to the museum which you can walk around and experience for yourself.


Technical:

My Process involves
1) Constructing a basic shape.
2) Advecting  particles from a emitter to follow the shape in a given time
3) Adding curl noise during their path for them to take weird stringy motion.
4) Having particles leave a trail of curves.
5) I convert these curves to geometry and render them out.

Aesthetic:

I enjoy the 3 levels of detail present in this sculpture. The large shapes which the sculpture follows, the medium details created by the noise and the smaller detail due to the overlaping of all the lines to create a very interesting sculpture.
