A-Morphology: Species_*

A-Morphology: Species_*
A continuation of an earlier project, this edition of the project illustrates the realisation of the proposed development points from the previous stage of the project. 

Developing upon the outcome of the previous iteration, this iteration once again utilizes the same superformula in order to generate various 3D shapes and forms through the use of user input. In attempting to create a more personal ownership to the 'creatures' created the sound reactive element is replaced for a simple HUD design allowing users to put in various values - with some direction towards personal data to encourage a sense of personal ownership - in order to develop a unique 'creature' for each individual.

The project was initially inspired by the old practice of diatomists. The practice of collecting and curating various micro-organisms known as diatoms into complex and beautiful microscopic arrangements.
The project also featured in two exhibitions; Outcome{} and End of Function{} held at The Glasgow School of Art and The Art School respectively. The installation at both events staged the project with on a screen with keyboard and allowed for attendees to interact with the piece. Through both events a large collection of forms were created and curated as can be seen in the images presented below.
