I’d like to invite you to the group exhibition “Sluimertijd”. I will be showing two existing works from the Linea Recta series and four new works. 📍 De Winkelhaak, Antwerp 🗓 3 February – 27 March Opening reception: Thursday, 5 February, 5–9 pm

Vertigo

Leaning into modernism

Monochrome Monday.

Finetuning color combinations

A generative study in contrast and rhythm.

It’s nice to see how, with stencil mode, the negative space gets emphasized.

Weekend experiments. Digging the stenciled look, putting the support for holes in my geometry framework to work.

Exploring some texture work

Texture mode: on

Always building... Trying to create some tension and breathing room with hatched shapes.

New lay-out mode unlocked: rings.

Why don't you let the agent do the drawing?

I'm trying to introduce some more compositional tension by exploring less regular shapes. I like the fact that it naturally seems to create more whitespace and breathing room.

All in a day's work.

Working on another iteration of the Monograph algorithm. 👀

Grid research.

Hatches

Drawn to the X-ray aesthetics this textural treatment reveals.

Some more experimenting, iterating, tinkering, exploring, ...

Playing around, putting my custom pathfinder tool through its paces. Just seeing where it takes me.

WARP STRETCH FOLD Generative, reactive typography, made with p5js.

Interactive type, made with p5. I toggled the debug view a couple of times so you can see what's going on.

Interactive generative typography. All vector, no textures, for extra crispness. In the second part of the video I toggle some debug views so you can see what's going on under the hood.

Real-time vector-based generative typography, running in the browser. +1 if you can name the track these lyrics are from.

Generative typography, rendered in real-time in the browser, made with p5js. I added some RGB trails to bring out that 70s vibe — and honestly, just for the fun of it.

Well, do ya, punk?

Untangle

Reading font data, applying envelope transforms and adding some physics: it all comes together in this animation. All vector-based for crisp scaling and precise control. As usual, I like the debug view better. ;-)

Putting tools I’ve developed over the past few months to good use. This is my Envelope Transform tool, applied to font shapes for some satisfying distortions. And hey, who doesn’t enjoy a good debug view? 😉

Just finished extracting vertex and bezier data from font files (thanks to opentype.js) and converting everything into my own geometry framework — with support for holes too. Everything’s now set up to start experimenting with physics-based deformation. Let’s see where this goes.

Signing off, see you in two weeks.

Capturing some final moments

Last weekend to visit the exhibition!

Last couple of days to visit the exhibition. You’re welcome to drop by.

Working on a new design based on my Monograph algorithm, using my custom 3D prototyping tool. This one will be laser cut in 4mm birch plywood, 50 x 70cm. Happy to have figured out separate edge colors — it really helps define the shapes.

Last week to visit the exhibition.

Just ported my 3D prototyping tool from p5.js to Three.js. The switch boosts rendering performance and gives me better control over transparent materials and physically accurate dimensions.

Happy accidents on the laser cutter bed sparking moments of inspiration.

Mitosis #290 and #344 changed hands yesterday. It's always nice to see ongoing interest in the collection.
