Streams

Streams is a generative design application created by Lukasz Karluk which combine his fascination with contemporary Australian Indigenous art, such as that of Gloria Petyarre and further continues his experimentation with line integral convolution (LIC), a mathematical technique used for visualising flows.

Generative Design - Streams print of dense white leaf strokes and dotted trails swirling on black, echoing Gloria Petyarre bush medicine painting

Generative Design - Streams flow field of fine black dashes on white, scattered with purple and black diamond markers

Generative Design - Streams animation stippling short black line strokes into a slowly swirling flow field on white

Generative Design - Streams composition of overlapping purple and black fanned line clusters packed across a square canvas

Generative Design - Streams study of vertical pale strokes fading from bright white at the top to solid black at the base

Generative Design - Streams study of grey teardrop strokes falling in dense columns across a black ground

Flume

Realtime generative visuals created for Flume for his first world tour. These were displayed on giant LED stage screens.

Generative Design - Flume tour visual of a translucent sphere layered in teal, magenta and gold blobs on black

Generative Design - Flume tour visual of a white low-poly sphere bristling with faceted spikes on black

Generative Design - Flume tour visual of a violet sphere with a soft dimpled honeycomb surface glowing on black

Generative Design - Flume tour visual of a glossy orb with a gold rim and a pink to orange gradient interior

Generative Design - Flume tour visual of a spiked crystal ball built from yellow and magenta facets on black

Generative Design - Flume tour visual of violet ribboned forms twisting diagonally across black

Generative Design - Flume tour visual of a purple ripple disc, concentric banded waves rising to a central peak

Generative Design - Flume tour visual of a magenta disc filled with rippling contour lines in cyan and violet

Generative Design - Flume tour visual of a magenta ring whose contour lines spill out into a long cyan tail

Generative Design - Flume tour visual of a wireframe terrain mesh peaked in green and pink, mirrored below its horizon

Generative Design - Flume tour visual of a symmetrical wireframe seed form in pink, yellow and mint on black

Triangle Field

Generative design driven by multiple layers of perlin noise. The project evolved into a interactive installation titled tr-IO, consisting of generative video/audio projected onto a wall and controlled via an interactive table.

Generative Design - Triangle Field pattern of red, grey and white triangles tiling the frame, driven by layered perlin noise

Generative Design - Triangle Field pattern in soft pink and sand triangles broken up by white gaps across the grid

Generative Design - Triangle Field pattern in slate blue and plum triangles with clusters of pale ice blue

Ribbons

Generative Design - Ribbons render of pale grey slivers bursting outward around a red and black core

Generative Design - Ribbons render of white shard-like strips sweeping to the left with a dark red mass at the tail
