To figure out a way of coming up with shapes that human feel unfamiliar with, the programme was written to use randomness to help designing the shape of the toy. The collaboration between human and computer worked well.
Fluffiness started form the exploration of handmade stuffed toys. As the limitation of human imagination, the shapes came up directly have similarity and lack of uniqueness.
Therefore, to push forward the project, instead of using randomness, the programme was set to abstract the data from music to generate the shape. Throughout this process, the shape of toy generated become the container of the data of music.
The Project Process
Exchange the music file with other audio file, such as historical recordings, memorable recordings, secrets recordings and so on, the representative meaning of the toy varied as the source file changed.
The toy can be place indoor as a toy for interaction or be made into other forms like a brooch that can take outside and declare the information within.
Except for the audio file, other type of data can be used to generate the toy shape as well. The toy can become the container for data and be used in many ways to enrich the information indoor.
