LaN announces its third On Site Barcelona workshop August 23rd through 29th at the Institute for Advanced Architecture of Catalonia (IaaC): Live Parameters.
One of the key elements in any associative design model is the data to which it responds. The ‘Live Parameters’ workshop will investigate several modes for interacting with real time, real life data [...]

Collaborative Cloud is an installation which investigates distributed and decentralized design and fabrication. The interface (in the link above) allows you to design and give information to a piece of the cloud, thus anyone can participate in the project’s growth over the next 8 months. The physical construction will take place at the Disseny Hub [...]

Current exploration into alternative interfaces for presenting and interacting with associative models. Here we see two examples of communication from an iPod Touch 2g to McNeel’s Grasshopper plug-in for Rhino. This is made possible by Open Sound Control (OSC) and the User Datagram Protocol (UDP). In these examples, a Processing interface was utilized to show [...]
