Hello,
My name is Anton Lamberg.
I'm a graphic designer from Sweden currently living in Holland and working on my graduation project at the Royal Academy of Art, The Hague. I try to create design that is both structurally interesting as well as aesthetically pleasing.

Active Project:

Attacking Perfection

Working Titel
2011-12-20
Genetic Algorithms Step III - Escaping photos
After doing two script that imitated photos I thought it would be important for future development of this approach of perfection to try to leave the realm of image mimicking and move over to a similar but more liberated form of Genetic Algorithms.

My idea was that due to the shape of the digital "DNA" it really depends on how its read what the result of the DNA results in. So what if the visuals of in the program was generated not by as the main event of the mutations but as a by products. Such as most of humans genetic deceases occurs; as a unexpected implication of a gene that does more than one thing.

So my current approach is a genetic algorithm that reproduces the book Twenty Thousand Leagues Under the Sea by Jules Verne; a childhood favorite of mine. A fundamental different in the structure of the program is that it's able to do so, and in quite a quick phase; but it doesn't just show the genetic reproduction of the book but also a visual universe that is produced from the same genetic data as the text.

This is a very early prototype and its under production. The visuals are not refined yet and its more of a technical and aesthetic sketch at the moment. More process will follow.

The video above is the app running for a short time and the video under is a short demo showing the 3d dimensional aspect of the app and some of the later to be hidden interface.
Both videos are in real time.

Genetic Algorithms Step II - The ongoing search
I was intrigued by the similarity between how the script worked and how the creative process of someone struggling with perfection in their work. So I thought it would be interesting to expand on this and to make an script that never settles down, constantly looses its goal and finding new ones.

I also was struggling with the time the script took to run; so I switched code base and constructed the next one in Cinder and C++ increasing the speed tremendously. I also had obtained a greater insight in genetic algorithms and could therefore make the script more effective. This combined with that I skipped color for the second script resulted in greater speed and room for greater complexity.

I also wanted to escape from the digital style that haunts a lot of interactive and code-based projects made in processing or similar languages. The access to OPENGL in cinder allowed me to add textures to the script without slowing down the actual speed by much.

The second script had a different focus in its structure. Instead of finding a perfection and settle with that perfection it searches until it gets to hard and then changing its perception of a perfection to something new continuing doing so for as long as it runs. By this capturing the way the mind works with the struggle of perfection.

The database of "perfections" are a collection of famous photographs through time and a collection of dictators, by that trying to draw history in a non-linear way.

The video is speed up 5 times as this script was created for viewing in a exhibition space more than the viewing on screen.

Genetic Algorithms Step I
As one of the approaches or attacks perfection I took the process of life. And I took upon taking the process and perhaps quality of life and applying it to graphic design.

As a first try I made this genetic algorithm script trying to reconstruct a picture without having the structural possibility to reach it's goal. This could be considered an symbolism for an artist or designer trying to reach the perfect esthetically and logical solution on a problem without, only being able to sense that it is there but unable to obtain it.

The video is a time-elapse of a script made in processing. The DNA is replaced with a binary string working much in the same way as biological DNA and it’s mutated and then compared to earlier generations where the survival of the fittest is the rule. The program was incredibly slow and the real time process was over 18 hours.

Under is some photographs of stills and prints from the process.
