Processos generativos de imagem como base para a criação de design de superfície

Abstract

The current monographic project consists in a surface design research, with focus on the use of Generative Image Systems. From a theoretical investigation on a few key concepts in the field of surface design, as well as concepts related to generative image systems design, this research, which has a practical, exploratory and applied bias, aims to relate the possibilities of the use of generative image systems with the practice of surface design, in a way to expand the repertoire of possibilities and resources available to the designer. To this end, beyond the theoretical research in surface design, arts and generative systems bibliographies, a case study was made, with an account of the development of a set of generative surface design systems. The generative systems were developed on the Processing programming language. The product of the development process is a set of generative applications with movement and behavior based on pack behaviors found in nature that can be applied through digital surface projections. The applications also have the capacity to save images of the visual state of each application to be used in traditional visual patterns. This document therefore contains sections related to generative design, surface design,and the account of the creative process of the development of generative surface desigin systems, as well as the results achieved.
