Compform, 2020
A series of sketches that arise from playing with code, using platforms such as p5.js, processing, and openscad.
Concept
Compform represents an exploration of computational form—using code as a medium for visual discovery and creative expression. The project emphasizes process-oriented creative practice, where the act of coding becomes a form of sketching and experimentation.
Technical Platforms
- p5.js: Web-based creative coding framework for generative art
- Processing: Java-based programming environment for visual arts
- OpenSCAD: Scripted 3D CAD modeling for parametric design
Approach
The work embraces an iterative, exploratory methodology:
- Learning through making and experimentation
- Embracing unexpected outcomes from code
- Building visual vocabulary through computational processes
- Exploring the intersection of technical precision and creative expression
Practice
Compform embodies a practice where code serves as both tool and medium—enabling the creation of visual forms that emerge from the intersection of algorithmic logic and aesthetic intention.
