Free Art Bureau GMU:Self-Organization by Design - Medien Wiki Werkmodul/FachmodulLecturer: Martin SchneiderCredits: 6 ECTS, 4 SWSDate: Block-Workshops Venue: Marienstraße 7b, Room 204First meeting: 2013-11-29 Description Since this is a block workshop please make sure to sign up on the official list at the secretary with Daniela Dembowski until October 18th. In addition please send an application email to Martin Schneider to tell him a bit about you and what you expect from this course. This course tackles several forms of self-organisation. The subject is approached via exercises and experiments in the Processing programming language. The three subject areas are: Pattern Formation (Cellular Automata and Turing Patterns) Dynamic Self-Organisation (Swarm-Art) Self-Assembly (Geometric Physics and Chemistry) Beschreibung Dieser Kurs setzt sich mit verschiedenen Formen der Selbst-Organisation auseinander. Die drei Themengebiete sind: Language The course will be in English, unless all participants are speaking German. Eligible Participants Requirements Syllabus

Playing with pixels ! > Code créatif et interfaces web expérimentales par Gildas P. Nature by numbers. The theory behind this movie We can find interactive sites on the internet (like this) to draw points, move them, and check how the structure becomes updated in real time. In fact, if we have a series of random dots scattered in the plane, the best way of finding the correct Voronoi Telesación for this set is using the Delaunay triangulation. And in fact, this is precisely the idea shown on the animation: first the Delaunay Triangulation and then, subsequently, the Voronoi Tessellation. But to draw a correct Delaunay Triangulation is necessary to meet the so-called “Delaunay Condition”. This means that: a network of triangles could be considered Delaunay Triangulation if all circumcircles of all triangles of the network are “empty”. Notice that actually, given a certain number of points in the plane there is no single way to draw triangles, there are many.
