While working on my generative wireframes, I got more and more interested in how something like that would look when set in motion. Then I came up with is what you see in this video:

You might notice that it doesn’t look anything like my previous work. That is one of the aspects I love so much about generative design: you never know where you will end up. I started out with some rotating ellipses and came to a completely different result by simply changing parameters and editing tiny bits of code. There is a Flickr set with some screenshots from earlier versions.

As far as the result is concerned, it is not audio reactive. Different types of animations are triggered by pressing keys. Additionally, there’s some modifier keys that change the behaviour of various elements. Actually, the program has some more possibilities that just didn’t fit into the context of that particular video. I am looking forward to use them in future work.

Oh, and it was made with Processing.

Thomas Nilsson has created a video that tells the story of little red ridning hood as an animated infographic. Heavily inspred by Röyksopps already classic Remind me Video by PLEIX, but still unique.
