Acurupture @ Special Agency 11/24

Acurupture is a series of sculptural gestures that explore the relationship between tension and regeneration.

Fractal Sequencer @ CCC | 12/23

For the occasion of the 37th Chaos Computer Club hacker conference, I created an online fractal MIDI sequencer that produces irregular beat patterns and melodies. It works really well for creating organic textures for moving and resting and working and living. Can connect to any internal MIDI device (the examples below are made with GarageBand which is available on any Mac) or with an external synth / drum machine. This tool is best suitable for exploring and cultivating non-linear dynamical patterns in time and space. Many natural systems have fractal properties: a certain principle is replicated across different scales. In the context of time, this means that no matter how short or how long we're going to be exposed to something, we will observe a similar pattern of change. And the longer we observe, the bigger the variability will be. This MIDI sequencer is available on fractalbeat.live and it was created on the basis...

InfraNodus @ CCC | 12/23

For the occasion of the 37th Chaos Computer Club congress in Hamburg, Germany, I presented a methodology for creative thinking that uses a combination of knowledge graphs and LLMs. The core of the approach is in detecting a structural gap in ideas using a knowledge graph and then using LLMs to generate an idea that bridges this gap in an interesting way. This algorithm is now implemented in InfraNodus thinking tool and is also available via API to help algorithms think creatively.      ...

Visual AI Thinking Tool @ YouTube | 10/23

This video, which was watched more than 600 000 times in the first 3 months, presents a method for visual thinking using knowledge graphs and AI. The approach is based on using a knowledge graph to gradually build your idea, focusing on the blind spots in your thinking. Once a gap is identified, the user can generate a research question using an LLM to bridge this gap and to come up with a new idea. This way, AI is not used to think for us, but, rather, with us, augmenting our thinking capacity rather than replacing it. This methodology is implemented into InfraNodus visual thinking tool, which is available online.   You can watch the full video presentation below: ...
