A poster for the SFC 2015 conference of the “Société de Classification Française”. The graphics are based on a project (the Créatures project with Charlotte Truchet and Bérenger Recoules) mixing graphics, sound design and genetics () never exhibited.
Creatures formed of rounded rectangles have their properties (sizes, colors, transparencies, corner radius, outline thickness) represented by a genetic code. A sound behavior (Pure data) is also associated with this code. Creatures are produced randomly, then reproduce according to the proximity, or the direction of the wind. The sound coming from each creature can be listened to.
For the poster, I spawned several thousand creatures. They were then sorted through the use of a Self Organizing Map, and therefore placed by genetic proximity on a map. The result is the background of the poster. We find similarities with the neighbors...
