florencia PITA: The name Cronopios originates from a character in the book ‘Stories of Cronopios and Fames’ (1962) by Argentine writer Julio Cortazar. The ‘Cronopios’ are described as unique characters; they are naïve, unconventional and sensitive creatures with lush imaginations. Cortazar depicts them in short vignette-proclamations that have an air of surrealist fairy-fragments, with stories such as: ‘Instructions on how to climb a staircase’ and ‘Turtles and Cronopios’ that chronicle exhilarating yet casual events.

studio400: This Is Not a Book Cave was a collaborative installation that was designed, fabricated, and installed in a period of less than three weeks with the goal of displaying and reading thesis books. Donated cardboard tubes, previously bound for recycling, were cut into predetermined lengths, ranging from less than an inch to four feet then clustered into a series of modules. The arrangement of different modules allowed for variance in form, while simultaneously creating changes in transparency and visual affect.

karmafritz: I’m interested in finding new images and ways to create new images.
I found that when used as material for collages and/or put into a different context, fractals (created with software like chaoscope and Apophysis for example) seem more natural, scetch-like and meaningfull.

mikael HVIDTFELDT CHRISTENSEN (Syntopia): ‘Folding Space’ is an exploration of a class of 3D fractals, called Kaleidoscopic IFS’s (first described in this thread at fractalforums.com). I start out with classic forms, typically one of the Platonic Solids, and add small perturbations in order to arrive at new and interesting forms.

sofia ADOLFSSON: Living Structure is a proposal for a new university building in Malmö; a network that operates in different scales and densities within the system and allows three-dimensional growth. A series of systems that coexist is part of the network and their architectural qualities allow for mutation, cavity and bridging. Skin mutates from being skin into floor plates. The system allows for bifurcation to organize the space.
