Algorithmic Domesticties

Casa Jasmina

Algorithmic Domesticties is an adaptive table set that is customizable by different algorithmic patterns inspired from natural forms.

The idea for adaptive algorithmic patterns responding to a natural environment was developed by Caterina Tiazzoldi as an Artist Residence a the Everglades National Park and presented as honour guest at the Salone Satellite Salone Internazionale del Mobile 2015. The project Algorithmic Domesticities developed for the 11th edition of the Share Festival at Casa Jasmina is a proposal for a customizable table set engaging the relation between domestic appliances and algorithmic design procedures. The table sets are generated from a Maya evolutionary geometry processing natural shapes and geometrical variations digitally printed on two vinyl sheets. Algorithmic Domesticities explores a vision in which domestic appliances respond to the reading of the surrounding nature.

Caterina Tiazzoldi, Associate Professor at Xi’an Jiaotong University, develops innovative design solutions through the strong interaction between professional practice and the research developed by Caterina Tiazzoldi as director of the research lab NSU at Columbia University. Among Caterina Tiazzoldi’s projects Toolbox Torino, Circolo dei Lettori and the Whirlers presented at Unesco in 2014.

House Ghost Poem

Fabien Pante

I was at a window one evening in spring. So many eyes looking on but always the same ones found me there. I kept it in a window my darkest love. I never saw it again – My feelings of an instant in an instant were gone.
