Algorithmic Beauty and the Designer Artifact
April 5th, 2009
Unique, designer artifacts have traditionally been associated with handicraft and tedious manual fabrication. The 21st century has spawned new technologies and approaches for the creation of digital artifacts based on latent user interests and aesthetics. One no longer has to choose between mass commodity culture and its walking advertisement model or pre-21st century-era handicraft technologies.
Through the application of generative-heuristic algorithms, we possess the computational resources and aesthetics to construct personalized artifacts of radiant beauty. This is the vision of Post Arctic Industries: where art meets algorithm and surface meets symbol.
The unique and beautiful endures, a wordless secret preserved for our future selves.
