AlgoNature: Fengshui is a generative typography concept that combines coding algorithm and nature elements. This mini project delves into the fascinating intersections of traditional Fengshui symbols and ideas with the precision of code algorithms. It goes beyond the pictographic elements by using Chinese characters, where the shape of the character vaguely resembles the element it represented. This exploration aims to generate an audio-visual generative type using sounds. Integrating these sounds into the code algorithms results in a harmonious blend of dynamism and motion, where the characters reflect the deep-rooted connections between humans and their surroundings. It also questions how we can make traditional Chinese characters interesting, and how different character variations are generated by sound.
I like to keep things simple when I start working on code during each session and exercise. I take it step by step, going at a pace that allows me to understand the code and make adjustments based on what I want to achieve. As I gain confidence and see desired outcomes, I start injecting my own ideas and experimenting with different versions. My inspiration often comes from my surroundings—the things I see and hear, captured through various audio and visual methods.
