Students explored the image making ability of complex systems through a series of exercises targeted at analyzing and leveraging behaviors expressed through color and mechanical precedents. Students analyzed physical relationships in early industrial automatons and machines to produce logics for the organization of material in a multi-agent systems. Students then explored color relationships in Dutch still life painting, which they then integrated into their mechanical systems as new behaviors.

suckerPUNCH: Describe your project.

m. casey REHM (Kinch): This is a series of sketches that is part of a larger project dealing with issues of agency and figure. I use short exercises like this with specific and internal constraints which operate in a conceptual vacuum to develop behaviors and methods with the intention of later integrating them into architectural projects which have a more complex set of constraints already built into them. This particular study links a genetic growth trigger with an agent population which has a topological understanding of its population as well as simulated material behaviors.
