The project is titled Generative Materialism: advancing design of the digital and physical.
This interdisciplinary project aims to open the way for the next generation of manufacturing technologies by linking advanced computer science with the creative arts. Using innovative techniques that combine generative systems, advanced digital fabrication and the creative needs of modern design, the project seeks to boost human creativity by intelligently connecting the digital and physical processes of generative systems.
The outcomes will help build the next generation of digital arts software systems that assist creative and industry professionals to excel, promoting higher productivity and greater creativity vital to Australia's future creative industries.
This will provide benefits such as the creation of breakthrough systems for the creative industries that elevate the role of computational generation and on-demand manufacturing in contemporary design, production and creative practice.
