This Kanji is about the word Technology (技術), which consists of the two Kanjis 技 and 術. Individually, the characters mean “Skill”, “Craft” and “Art”, “Technique”. In the corresponding combination, the word Technology (ぎじゅつ or Gijutsu) is created.

Geometry

02.12.2021

Inspiriert von einem Projekt, das ich kürzlich erstellt habe und das je nach Filterung des Inhalts geometrische Linien und Formen erzeugt, hatte ich wieder Lust, mit Geometrie zu experimentieren und habe einige Grundformen neu erstellt. Sehr einfach, aber ich liebe den Minimalismus!

Planet Noise

02.09.2021

A small after-hour script which I programmed based on P5JS to draw circles inspired by the work of Keisuke Taniguchi. The circles are coordinated by different stroke widths, mouse position coordinates, radius and framerates. As I was experimenting with the parameters, very different styles, forms and experiences emerged.

Wiggle

Just a little After Hour Snippet Experiment with CSS Animations to get the Wiggle Wiggle out there!

OpaqueScript

03.06.2021

Since the launch of our basic script last year, we have received enthusiastic feedback from all of you. And thanks to your valuable inputs the last months, we’ve been able to form a relatively clear picture of the potential and future wishes for the product. We are now happy to present you an advanced version of the script, “OpaqueScript-Pro”. In this new version color and opacity can be set individually.

Cistercian numerals

18.03.2021

The medieval Cistercian numerals, or “ciphers” in nineteenth-century parlance, were developed by the Cistercian monastic order in the early thirteenth century at about the time that Arabic numerals were introduced to northwestern Europe. They are more compact than Arabic or Roman numerals, with a single character able to indicate any integer from 1 to 9999.

未来 — Future

14.01.2021

This example is about the word Future (未来), which consists of the two characters 未 and 来. Individually, the characters mean “not yet”, “come”, “next”, as well as “cause”.

Torsions – Walter Leblanc

24.12.2020

Walter Leblanc was a Belgian artist who worked with geometric abstract monochromes. In the 1950s he created light-based relief series in sand. In 1959, torsion became the most important design element. By twisting and turning paper, cardboard or threads on or in surfaces, three-dimensional structures and sculptures were created. In the process, Leblanc often worked serially. Based on a tutorial by Varun Vachhar, I was able to bring the lithograph “Torsie-vorming in 6 phasen” by Walter Leblanc from 1978 to life.

親切 — Kindness

03.12.2020

This example is about the word Kindness (親切), which consists of the two characters 親 and 切. Individually, the characters mean “parent”, “friendliness”, “relative”, as well as “eager”, “earnest”, “ardent”. In the corresponding combination, the word Kindness (しんせつ or Shinsetsu) is created.

Refraction

10.09.2020

Refraction is the bending of light when light travels from one material into another, based on a change of speed, changing the light’s direction. The amount of bending is based on the density of the materials( representing how fast the light travels through the material ) and is called “index of refraction”. Refraction can be seen in the real world by putting a pen into a glass of water, when swimming, looking on a glass statue, in gems and so on.

Internet — インタネット

Japanese Katakana Experiments. The form of the Japanese syllabic writing used especially for scientific terms, official documents and words adopted from other languages

Grids by Algorithms

14.05.2020

A small after-hour script which I programmed based on P5JS to manipulate the versatility of grids. The script adds more randomness and number of lines every 1500 milliseconds. Pretty ? however!
