THE

SOLAR SYSTEM

TECHNOLOGIES USED : JAVA, GRASSHOPPER

“One night when I looked up at the sky, I cold see the whole entire solar system with the naked eye.

I saw Mercury and Venus, And I could imagine all of the warmness.

I saw Mars and the Asteroid Belt, And I wish I knew how that felt.

Then I saw Jupiter and Saturn, Whose rings’ each glowed like a lantern.

Then I saw Uranus and Neptune, And for each planet saw more than one moon.

Then comes Pluto the last planet of all, Looked as tiny as a rubber ball.”

THE

GALAXY BLOOM

TECHNOLOGIES USED : JAVA, GRASSHOPPER

We human being like elegant patterns of flowers. But people may ignore that there are many “Flowers“ are blossom in the universe. Why galaxy systems are always beautiful and full of regular pattern? These research focus on the domination of the galaxy systems which name is the Gravitation Law. With this simple law we can create many elegant patterns. What’s more, we can create a galaxy system which is not existed in the universe.

Because the distance will change the gravitation force of the planets in the multi-star system.

The distance between fixed stars will change the shape of the multi-star system. This area shows the different distance between the two fixed stars. The original speeds, positions and directions of the planets in different systems are the same.

V Gravitation Centrifugal Force

Gravitation 1

Gravitation 2

Gravitation 3

The reason why the planet is rotating with the fixed star is its centrifugal force. And the speed of the planet creates this force. Without speed.

The planet will finally hit the fixed star. In this research, The serious of the systems show the different speed range of the planet. We will see how the speed of the planet influence the shape of the stellar system.

In regularlly, there is only one fixed star in one stellar system. Scientists also find the binary systems are existed in the universe. What if are three or more fixed stars in one stellar system?

These research provide the results of different number of fixed stars within one stellar system.

TANGLE BRACELET TECHNOLOGIES USED : GRASSHOPPER

Inspired by tango dancing. In this case, this bracelet create by grasshopper and could be controlled by customer. Angle, size and jitter of the bracelet are controlled by different sliders in grasshopper. So everyone could build their own tangle bracelet.

WONDERLAND

TECHNOLOGIES USED : KINECT, JAVA, GRASSHOPPER

To enhance the experience of audience inside the scenes we build. We try to create the system to control the motion inside the scenes via motions of audience’s motion.

We use kinect to detect the knots of human body. And then input each knots’ means of coordinates to the processing to calculate. Finally, we get the result via processing and then use them to control the motion of the camera in UDK.

Little planets

Space: This is a scene of outer space with small “planets” of cities. We are trying find a new way of experiencing cities.

Without gravity, there’s no reason for a city to be built on flat surface. We find two ways of making cities “spacial”.

Elements: This is a small planet of “Downtown LA”. We mapped a 360 degree image of downtown onto a sphere. In this way we can observe the city from any angle in pace. It is very easy to make and can be very detailed if you use a high resolution image, but it does not represent the volumn of the city.

This is a inverted city created by rhino. It is a 3d version of the city mapping sphere. We not only mapped the image of the ground onto the sphere, but also mapped the model of the buildings. Flying around the city in space gives you very different but real experience.

DANCING FLAME TECHNOLOGIES USED : JAVA

When Anton Giulio Bragaglia (1890-1960) and his brother Arturo (1893-1962), began taking photographs against black backgrounds in hopes of capturing continuous movement, Futurists advocate their contemporary thesis to the whole world. They never stop chasing motions, velocity and variations as Futurism works always reveal a fluid and continuous dynamic flow of movements.

The question is “how to present it”, the ever-changing world. Futurists in early 1900th use long-exposure photography and painting brushes to show the transformations. As we know, photography is to present the real and painting is to show the inner of painter himself. We want to find a way to combine the two different behaviors together.

What we do is to use the camera of a laptop to track people’s motions and convert the body language into computer language, the software and the code we write will draw an amazing 3D dimension painting simultaneously. We call it 3D because the picture makes an overlap of both the moving path in 2D space coordinates and the time coordinate. It’s totally customized because no one can gesture the same, every picture is like one’s finger print. The picture not only shows the real, but also the imaginary world.

路what can be the painting brush

eyes object

mouth object

The brush can be everything which has a particular color. You could set the brush with the RGB reference to decide what color you want the camera to follow, or you can click in the processing camera to decide the color(imputing the RGB reference is not necessary). You can also change the tolerant rate to decide the range of the similar color.

OTHER WORKS

Including graphic works, architecture works, furniture works, marketing analysis and industrial design.

The “Sea Farm” is a removable, sustainable and environmentally sensitive system designed to protect the Coastline residents from periodic high water levels associated with Sea Level rise. It operates on “Sea Farm” units conbined with oyster-cultivation-boxes and windturbine. The oyster-cultivation-boxes could weaken the high water waves. At the same time, the local area could also benefit from the oyster cultivation. It is a concept that has the potential to eliminate billions of dollars in permanent levees and localized Bay Area flood protection.

Typically, low-lying areas around the Bay are protected from the tidal flooding. As the data shows, the principle threat of rising tides in the next century is not from the rising tides itself, but from extrems during high tides.

The “Sea Farm“ could weaken the water waves efficiently with the principle of Diffraction law. Also, the Sea Farm“ offered the city a new landscape view from the sea water, It could enhanced the social awarness about our future.
