Undersexualized Recursion – E0002

Posted on Apr 17, 2016

Undersexualized Recursion (E0002) is a continuation of a series of computationally-designed spaces and networks. It explores how architectures can emergently hold spaces by communicating with parts of itself, experiment with solutions, and breed possible organisms. Much of the design of this organism uses code-authored-code, which self-edits its programming. This work does not fetishize the object; in fact it does everything it can to obscure, limit, and confuse the viewer. To map the space, the viewer must invest time and effort to decipher the geography of the space and the evolution of the organism. This is an ongoing project, with continuing efforts to prolifically explore the formal-, computational-, architectural-, and spatial-search spaces. The E0002 Series has profound enhancements to the architectural organism, namely allowing the system to play with and evolve different surface conditions. These conditions texturize the surface and space at different fractal scales and each generation passes down its traits to future designs.
