In the innovative frontier of digital exploration, the Blackbox Hyperelements project emerges as a beacon of hypergenerativity, intertwining algorithmic design, AI-driven creativity, and user interactivity within a browser-based environment. This initiative has birthed three applications, each serving as a portal to a world where speculative materials could potentially manipulate time and space. These applications are not mere tools; they are immersive experiences, prototypes of double generativity, designed to invite users into a co-creative process with technology.
- Blackbox HyperElements 01: Utilizes p5.js for creative coding, creating a dynamic environment where a white circle, driven by Perlin noise, moves and changes size to reflect the nuances of time and motion. This visual is then captured and sent every 200 ms to the AI model, which responds in near real-time, enhancing the interactive experience. Experience it live.
These applications transcend the digital realm to become versatile tools for live visual performances (VJing) and interactive installations. Equipped with their own soundtracks, they offer a multi-sensory experience that can be dynamically altered in real-time, providing a rich canvas for creative expression and public engagement. Whether as standalone multimedia pieces in a gallery setting or as part of a live performance toolkit, these applications bridge the gap between art and technology, inviting participants to immerse themselves in a world of generative beauty and auditory landscapes.
Supported by an artist researcher grant from Fal.ai, the Blackbox Hyperelements project is a testament to the fusion of artistic exploration and scientific inquiry. This project not only challenges our understanding of time and materiality but also redefines the possibilities of interactive and generative art.
We invite you to dive into each application, to explore, interact, and co-create with the underlying technologies. These applications are designed not just for observation but for active participation in a journey through speculative materials and the manipulation of time and space.
- Ensure you have Node.js and npm installed on your system.
- Clone the project repository and navigate into your desired application directory.
- Install dependencies with
npm installand start the development server withnpm run dev. - Visit
