New media design and art collective. New media collective panGenerator is an interdisciplinary new media design and art group based in Warsaw, Poland.
Since 2010 we're creating works of art and desing that explore the new means of expression and interaction. We're belnding bits, beats and atoms, providing truly innovative products, and engaging experiences for audiences of art galeries, museums and festivals. Our projects are ranging from large scale interactive installations to the novel musical interfaces and tiny wearable-tech objects.
Apart from our creative endeavours, we're involved into new media tech and art education, frequently handling the workshops on the subject.

We provide our experience and services in following fields Creative concepts Interaction design Graphic/Form design Sound design Creative coding Custom electronics Engineering New Media workshops.
Constellaction - Intricate emergent behaviour using autonomous building blocks / @panGenerator. Earlier this year panGenerator was invited by Copernicus Science Center to create an installation for the new media and technology oriented Transformations Festival and given the central idea of this years edition – empowering people via new tools such as 3d printing and new collaboration frameworks, the team decided to implement an idea they developed some time ago.
They strived for something that generates intricate emergent behaviours based on very simple and autonomous building blocks. The main, and only component of Constellaction installation/experience was a small, vacuum formed tetrahedron. Inside there were custom made electronics driven byATtiny24A microcontroller which already included all of the things the team were looking for – it was working with voltages as low as 1.8V, consumed small amounts of current and had enough i/o pins.

At next month's London Design Festival, designer Marloes ten Bhömer will be presenting and discussing a series of investigative pieces, processes, tests and trials for a new footwear collection informed by engineering principles.
Above, her Rotationalmouldedshoe. The high-heeled woman is a complex construct, one designed for and ultimately sanctioned to the man-made environment. A Measurable Factor Sets the Conditions of its Operation is an exhibition that presents her research into 'the woman in motion' as an engineering problem. Greyglassfibreshoe "Marloes ten Bhömer's aim is to completely replace the standard and regimented approaches to footwear design and manufacturing with the working processes of engineering. Weather as datapaintings. Eyes on the Sky is a process-based investigation into generative design and the weather.
Jed Carter linked 64 public-access web cameras across Europe, recording the colour of the sky, at each point, at regular intervals and produced a book that collects a week of paintings where cameras paint the weather, once every hour. I believe that most people respond more intuitively to simple colours than to the complex units of data found in weather reports and downloadable apps. My phone can instantly inform me of the current temperature outside in degrees of Celsius, but this reading tells me nothing of how warm or cold it actually feels.
How warm is 18°C, exactly? Does that mean I need a jumper or a coat? Webcam images were downloaded to Jed’s server using a PHP script. Eyes on the Sky is a self-initiated project for Jed’s end-of-year show at Kingston University London – 3rd year Graphic Design BA(Hons). Project Page.
