Week 14: Catalogue of Making

For my catalogue of making, I have decided to use a website as I feel it is best to represent the p5.js sketches I have tried out so far as well as include my recent work on texture studies. For the website, I took the file from the past year data spaces website and tweaked it abit to be a one scroll website and only showing the outcomes. Surprisngly, it was easy to navigate and I managed to make the layout make sense after some trial and error as it has been awhile since I had touched html so my eyes are still unfamiliar with the software after the break. In my catalogue of making. I decided to break down the content into different section, such as

1. The Experiments
a. Textures
b. Generative Typography
c. Interactivity
Followed by P5.j sketches which I included:

1. Code that I had either found on the internet
2. Manipulating Code that Andreas has provided
3. Ai Generated Code from the help of chat gpt
4. Code I attempted on my own

To make the catalogue of making not just the visuals, I added some short write-ups on what inspired or reminded me of the viusals. And to my surprise, I manage to connect some code with the textures I have acquired from my experiments which I included which helps me to narrate or describe what the texture feels or reminded me of. The catalogue of making was my top priority to complete hence why my cpj was neglected, which was quite regretful as I had the necessary content to upload.

MOVING FORWARD

Here are the series of posters collectd for my texture studies. In the future experiments these textures may help in creating a cohesive visual narrative or theme within my projects. Each presentation format offers unique opportunities to showcase the textures and their interplay, allowing for diverse storytelling approaches. The series of posters could provide a large-scale, impactful display, allowing viewers to immerse themselves in the textures and appreciate the details on a grander scale. The accordion fold, on the other hand, offers a dynamic and interactive experience, where textures unfold gradually, revealing a curated sequence or progression. Meanwhile, a booklet format provides a more intimate and curated exploration, guiding the viewer through a carefully structured narrative. As I envision future experiments, these documented textures become valuable assets. They can serve as foundational elements, contributing to the overall aesthetic and conceptual framework of my work. Whether utilized as standalone visuals, integrated into larger compositions, or serving as inspiration for new explorations, the textures captured in these presentations offer a versatile toolkit for expressing creativity and building a cohesive visual language in my ongoing projects.
