Algorithmic Alchemy.

Algorithmic Alchemy – Raven Kwok 

Algorithmic Alchemy focuses on Raven Kwok’s approach to designing and implementing generative visual systems through programming. Picking known algorithmic elements and geometric forms, then experimenting with various ways of structural combination is one of the crucial parts in Kwok’s creative and technical process. This lecture covers a series of Kwok’s previous projects, accompanied with multiple real-time demos, to break down the alchemy that happens behind the scene.
