ARCHITECTURAL GRAFFITI


When you have technology that creates artistic graphics, how do you use it pragmatically?

This personal project was about using graphical technology for practical uses. 000000book.com is a site where graffiti is translated into digital data points. Using graffiti data points as a brush, I was able to simulate analog architectural drawings. By moving the points on a canvas by rotation of 3D camera movements. This was simulated pencil-drawn parametric design.

Technically speaking, I used processing to mine xml graffiti data list and rendered in them real-time. I then used camera 3d movements to keep handlers in check. And let the rendering of 3D draw on the canvas.


I was able to produce beautiful creative coded art, but needed a pragmatic solution for these forms. It became a tool to create patterns and use the art as background resources for poster typography. What are others way of using graphics? How does one balance between aesthetics and pragmatics?
