Generative Lattice Algorithm

This project was a collaboration with {protocell:labs} where we offered our technical expertise to help bring this generative art piece to life. OBSCVRVM, meaning “darkness” in Latin, takes this profound insight from physicist Eugene Wigner and explores it through a series of code-generated spatial compositions. This collection redefines basic concepts of distance and time, with elements in the scene seemingly evolving at different spatial and temporal scales. Its universe exists on the ambiguous boundary between the cosmic and subatomic, forgoing color in place of structure, articulated through a single light source and a myriad of shadows it casts on the intricate lattice geometries.

OBSCVRVM collection is written in JavaScript using the THREE.js library for displaying instantiated 3D geometry. The generation of lattices is done using our own, open-source mesh subdivision module, which includes a custom mesh class.

This project was a collaboration with {protocell:labs}, founded by Luka Piskorec and Kane Borg.
