Edge Dynamics in Growth Experiments

Understanding growth as a computational process, this project seeks to explore the fundamental relationship between procedural transformations and their resulting geometry. A dynamic system is modeled as a network of springs and nodes that serves to activate the morphology of the test subjects throughout time.

As our digital matter flexes and contorts, we introduce new detail at the naked edges that is responsible to cause ripple and distortions in a nonlinear fashion. As our system “grows” with time changes, it gets locked into place as new geometry layers upon itself, creating a continuously articulated object. Careful attention was placed for the initial conditions of growth as well as the parameters that determine the rate of growth as a process.
