Surface Algorithm
by Sam
A series of digitally coded collages produced for Surface Architects for exhibition in Hull, North East England. Each image explores different memories and vectoral layerings of the city by layering specific letters and fonts in an additive boolean process. The ‘designer’ acts as editor, selecting or rejecting different combinative forms in a dialogue with the running coding algorithm to produce a collaborative outcome.

Digital Agents: Agent-Maze Dialogues
by Sam
Study of an autonomous spatial agent progressing through a real-time reconfiguring maze-matrix. Agent behaviours changed in response to modulation of individual spatial ‘desires’ and the ‘discovered’ or observed changing environment. Dependent on variation and combination of desire sets, different movement typologies can be categorised; these have a direct relation back to ancient labyrinth form elements. An emergent, emotive root for the occupation and understanding of spatialities is implied.

JellyBeats Installation
by Sam
Micro-Installation produced for Bompass and Parr in 2010 as part of their exhibition and venue ‘The Complete History of Food’. A ‘bioresponsive jelly’ was made to pulse in time with the observer’s heat-beat, providing an instant and amusing interaction as they ate it. It is suprising what people will willingly push their fingers into.

Pop Up Library
by Sam
Concept design for a ‘pop-up’ local library box to be installed in disused retail units. Rather than simply focussing on the materiel of books, the solution targets programmatic affordance, with projective and interactive surfaces, acoustic treatments that double as re-configurable seating seating and high density book storage and ‘vending’.

Digital Agents: Chiaroscuro Landscapes
by Sam
Second implementation and testing of a species of autonomously visual spatial agents within an active digital environment. This demonstrates ability to deal with a high degree of complexity and activity within the context whilst achieving successful pathseeking behaviours based upon long-distance vision. This approach uses a raytrace mechanic basis for the generation and resolution of the isovist.
