The Tresnak::Tools workshops are introductory sessions approaching the new technologies for their subsequent application in the creative and artistic arena. These workshops will provide brief introductions to different software and hardware tools. This session will be an introduction to creating modular objects using parametric design.
In fields such as architecture or design, parameters describe and quantify constrictions and configurations that characterise a system.Parameterizing an object or a structure is thus to convert those parameters into variables and analyse the changes that their variations in a specified range have on the whole.
Yet parametric design can also be taken to be the incorporation of logical descriptions of the processes involved to conceptualise and produce objects, systems and structures. This means moving the creative question of the form to the process and working around its factors at play: the rules, relations and time.
From this perspective, design gives the physical objects the capacity to be vessels for code and information, and to thus be able to acquire unexpected systematic, relational or emerging properties.
The workshop thus seeks to showcase the creation of parametric forms and systems to artists, designers and architects. The proposed exercise is therefore to create and print objects – created using the parametric design paradigm – that can be configured within a modular system.
We will use Processing to explore the variations of the forms of the objects through parameters. They will then be printed using Reprap low-cost 3D printers. Prior knowledge of processing is not essential, but is recommended.
The workshop is aimed at artists, particularly sculptors, programmers, creative artists, engineers and digital manufacturing enthusiasts.
