SYNESTHETIC COLLECTION

by Anaisa Franco and Martins

Comissioned work for Ypê Oficial and São Paulo Fashion Week 2024.

System development for generating 4 visuals using a brainwave sensor. When triggered by the sensory input of fashion designer Tom Martins, the systems generated distinct patterns and animations using the sensor's data to control parameters such as AI prompts and color and movement generation.

Selected moments from these animations were captured by the system and subsequently transformed into printable patterns. These patterns were then used by Tom to design 4 unique looks for his SPFW24 clothing collection.

WALLY SALOMÃO: DITO E LIDO

generative motion

WALLY SALOMÃO: DITO E LIDO is a musical poetry performance in homage to the poet's 80th birthday. Put together in a few weeks, it was presented at Sesc Pinheiros in October 2023 under the direction of Alexandre Matias and Juliana Vettore.

The animations were created using words taken from selected passages of the poems. The words are replicated from a table and their positions and sizes are randomly assigned to the vertices of geometries also generated randomly according to the number of words in the table. The movement is also random but allows control of intensity, fluidity, and amplitude.

In addition to the words, excerpts from videos from Waly's collection and reactive audio textures were also used.
