Creating Generative Artwork with Houdini

From 1 February to 29 February, Central Saint Martins’ Digital Innovation Season will explore and celebrate creativity in the digital space. This platform offers public talks and workshops for CSM students.The 2024 edition will focus on ‘Planetary Sensing’. This takes a ‘planetary’ perspective related to the climate crisis, social impact, and learning, teaching and research that engage cutting edge technologies like AI, IoT, wearables, and spatial computing. Rather than imagining a schism between the local and the global, a planetary perspective considers the material conditions of the planet - and how the earth understands and communicates through arrays of satellites, sensors, swarms, and servers that influence geographies, climate, and societies.

Central Saint Martins: Digital Innovation Season

3 x Online workshops led by Moritz Schwind

<h3><strong>This event is for CSM Students only.</strong></h3><p><strong>Please note:</strong> due to limited places this workshop is open to applications -  you will be asked questions when you click 'Register'.</p><p>Your application will be reviewed by the DIS team, and we will email you with a response. We aim to notify you of our decision as promptly as possible.</p><h3>Steal like an Artist: Creating Generative Artwork based on Scientific Papers.
</h3><h3>
</h3><h3>In this workshop, Entagma's Moritz Schwind will cover the process of researching, generating and implementing concepts for generative artworks based on scientific publications from fields such as biology, engineering, maths and physics.
</h3><h3>
</h3><h3>Following an introduction into methods of research and hints on understanding scientific papers, the workshop will give participants an introduction into SideFX Houdini. Using real life experiences and analogies, participants will learn the underlying principles which distinguish Houdini from more conventional CG tools. Furthermore participants will build a first set of projects that allow them to explore the strengths of Houdini and a generative approach when it comes to implementing procedural systems inspired by biology and physics.
</h3><h3>
</h3><h3>This brief introduction to Houdini for generative design aims at providing a glimpse into what the environment and routines in algorithmic design encompass.
