Lanterns, with their plays of light and shadow, are among the oldest forms of “displays.” In this Play Test Workshop, we’ll play with light and colors, but we’ll generate the patterns digitally: There are two algorithms inspired by nature. They’re called Voronoi and Delaunay. They mimic the growth of leaves and the arrangement of cells.
Using the simple, visual programming language vvvv, you can program your own mathematical pattern generated by nature. We’ll use a laser cutter to cut them out and turn them into lanterns—for the next lantern parade or for your home.
In this Play Test, you’ll learn the basics of the vvvv programming language, gain insight into Rosi Grillmair’s workshop format, and be able to implement it independently in the future or adapt it for your own purposes. No prior programming experience is required.
The event is open to artists, educators, and anyone interested.
A “Digitale Welten” Play Test Event. Sponsored by the Crespo Foundation, in cooperation with NODE Verein zur Förderung digitaler Kultur e.V. / Digitale Welten and the City of Frankfurt’s Smart City Office.
