Call for participation deadline : January 20th!<br>
Workshop / Production Lab: February 18-24th<br>
Exhibition: February 25-26th</h3>
<p>This openLAB is the first masterclass on Digital
Fabrication at iMAL in Brussels. With an emphasis on forms generated by
code, it will end with an exhibition of the works produced by the
participants.</p>
<p>Participants will explore how software processes can be
combined with digital fabrication to produce physical objects that are
the result of dynamic software systems, opening new fields for artists,
designers and other creative people. Specifically, we will look at how
generative systems can be used to create objects according to a
programmed logic, allowing for great complexity and a semi-automated
model of creativity.<br>
</p>
<h5 style="margin:0pt;padding:5px 0pt 0pt;font-size:18px;font-weight:normal">Generator.x</h5>
<p style="margin-top:1px">This openLAB is the evolution
of <a href="http://www.generatorx.no/20071130/generatorx-20-call/" target="_blank">Generator.x 2.0: Beyond the Screen</a>, a workshop and
exhibition that took place in Berlin during Transmediale 2008.
Generator.x is a curatorial platform set up by Marius Watz to explore
the implications of computational aesthetics, and these workshops are
intended to function both as discourse and practice.</p>
<p>For this 2012 edition in Brussels we propose to use the
latest low-cost 3D Printers (<a href="http://www.makerbot.com/" target="_blank">Makerbots</a>) as well as a large and powerful laser
cutter machine. The main software tool will be <a href="http://www.processing.org" target="_blank">Processing</a>, but we also welcome
users of other tools like VVVV, PD or OpenFrameworks. The workshop will
be hands-on and geared towards producing projects ready for exhibition
at the end of the project. Participants will be expected to be familiar
with code and generative strategies. There will be short tutorials
demonstrating certain techniques, but the main focus is on the
participants' own work.<br>

<h5 style="margin:0pt;padding:5px 0pt 0pt;font-size:18px;font-weight:normal">Marius
Watz</h5>
<p style="margin-top:1px"><a href="http://mariuswatz.com/" target="_blank">Marius Watz</a> is a Norwegian artist working with
visual abstraction through generative systems. An autodidact, he quit
his Computer Science studies to pursue visual work based on code. He is
known for his bold use of colors and hard-edged geometric compositions.
Recently he has been exploring digital fabrication technologies to
create complex abstract forms and structures, synthesizing form as the
product of parametric behaviors and freezing ephemeral data structures
into solid form.</p>
