The Puddle

Studio Pedrozzi

New website for Studio d’Architettura Martino Pedrozzi.
Visit pedrozzi.com.
Designed with Sidi Vanetti.

Puddle Builder 05

The new tool used to create the image for the May edition of the Puddle flyer.
Built with Processing and Toxi’s Voronoi class (part of the huge toxiclibs compilation).
To avoid the usual organic feel of the Voronoi diagrams we decided to snap the points to a grid; we intentionally left some little asymmetries, tough.
The final results reminds me of some afghan carpet designs.
Designed with Sidi Vanetti.

Puddle Builder 03

The tool used to create the image for the March edition of the Puddle flyer.
Built with Processing and a modified version of Toxi’s cp5magic.

Wish

C’era due volte una nonna

Stage design for a piece written for children with one actor. The whole set had to fit in a car: 17 foldable cardboard boxes, a 5000 ansi-lumen projector, a laptop, clothes and a chair.
The software is written in processing and features 15 different realtime animated scenes with different transitions that are mapped on the boxes. Mapping settings can be stored on a text file and managed trough an integrated editor.

Mae

A website for swiss-belt-manufacturer mae.
I wanted to display the feel of the exclusive fabric by reproducing the belts in actual size.
If you lost some weight order a new belt at maemade.ch.

Processing flyers

Series of 4 posters and event-programs. The motive of the first poster is inspired by—and is a hommage to—Nobuo Nakagaki’s experimental digital map of Africa.
The patterns are computed with Processing.
3 colors offset print, versions for A0 and A4.
With Sidi Vanetti.

EBSCO visual-search prototypes

I was asked to create two prototypes to graphically display the search results of the powerful EBSCOhost online research databases.

“Blocks” prototype:








“Columns” prototype:

VW Golf

The idea of the dashed trace left by the the car has made it trough for the launch campaign of a new VW Golf in Brazil.
The website opened with a 3d interactive animation, featuring a Golf and, of course, the black dashes.
Drive a non-polluting VW Golf.

Stopmotion experiments

Proof of concept for a series of 360° stopmotion animations for an interactive exhibition-installation.
Several very little archeological objetcs and jewels where physically showcased at the exhibition. A huge projection on a wall acted as a magnifying glass: users could select an object and observe it at different angles. The final objects where still photographed on the same turntable but with better lights and camera.

Homedrive

A mini-racing game developed for Radix. Features 9 levels, lo-fi vector graphics and a global high-score table.
