Plants & Ivy images

Ivy growth using a voxel space is a technique in which ivy is grown from
predefined geometric elements based on simple relationships,
computed in voxel space. Some relationships considered are intersection
and proximity. Growth is generated from multiple trials of element
orientation and positioning that are randomly perturbed. The trial
that fits the growth rules is perturbed. This method was first introduced
by Greene in SIGGRAPH '89.Here are some examples followed by
the algorithm.

Ronan et Erwan Bouroullec

Ronan et Erwan Bouroullec were born in Quimper, respectively in 1971
and 1976. As soon as he graduated from the « Ecole Nationale des
Arts Décoratifs », Ronan began working alone, progressively assisted
by Erwan, still a student at the Ecole des Beaux-Arts of Cergy Pontoise.
The two brothers have been working together since 1999.
Their collaboration is a constant dialogue, nourished by their single
identities and strived towards a common goal.

we will probably be working backwards from a designed circuit where we
decide the functions and behaviour of the electronics and then redesign the circuit
into an organic, plant like print as suggested at TallTreesSurfaceArtwork
