I’ve been spending most of my time on the back end of this project but I decided to poke my head out and generate some images.
I’m excited about some of the spacial and graphic possibilities here:
But I need to explore variety more aggressively. Currently, I’m just taking the ball that I’m generating with math and that’s it.
But there are some tantalizing possibilities that I think I’ll be able to exploit…..after the holidays.
I’m very excited. Finally, after a few months of grinding away at this java-based higher-dimensional projection system, I’ve got a few legitimate results to show off:
5 dimensions into 2:
I literally cropped these in MS Paint. Seriously.
6 dims into 2 (in perspective so it looks faster)
and finally 6 dims into 3. I promise better graphics soon.
A few images from a project I’m working on modeling Atlantic tuna populations:
Gratuitous 3D representation of the anchovy, tuna and bluefish population under certain parameters.
The individual populations in time and vs each other.
A few long term behavior diagrams showing results of overfishing (if unclearly).
I am working on a long term project investigating higher dimensional space and how it can be understood in architectural/spatial terms. The eventual goals for the project include instructive and generative tools for designers as well as a pedagogical agenda towards a better understanding of Cartesian space in architecture.
The diagrams below demonstrate a particular form of projecting three dimensions into one and I’m working already on the next which will be projecting 3 dimensions into 2.
First, we establish a projection window and some geometry to project:
Then, we capture anything that’s in the window and project it.
Eventually, I hope to be able to make clear explanations about what it means to project 4, 5, etc dimensions into 2, 3 or more.
