"Stendhal" is a data-art piece that smells like an old book. It embodies the feeble balance of rigidity and instability Julien Sorel - the main character from "Le Rouge et le Noir" - is going through: oscillating between hope and despair, living a fulfilled romantic passion while flouting the rules, extricating himself from his modest condition and defying the dominant classism of the time.
Window is a generative piece exploring the different densities formed by both rigorous and pseudo-random patterns through wobbly quadrilaterals.
A node based computational thinking tool for the Web to visual programming.
A realtime screen installation bringing Wimbledon's data to life through the metaphore of the English garden and its various flowers.
A peaceful representation of northern lights in the night sky over snowy mountains complemented by shootings stars controlled by the participants. It was displayed on the Harpa Concert Hall for the Reykjavik Winter Lights Festival 2019.
Set in a marine environment and concentrating on colourful anemones, this interactive web based experience explores the natural movement of under water fauna. The experiment celebrates the natural beauty of these animals in their environment, during a time of emergency and crisis of our seas.

Based on the paper "Elliptification of Rectangular Imagery" from Chamberlain Fong, I have implemented the mappings that can be used for the following geometries UVs generation: ellipse, disc, superellipse, squircle, annulus and reuleux geometries.

Lots of tools out there are focusing on building medium to large scale applications (Webpack, Parcel) or require some configuration to get started (Rollup…). Now that we have a widespread support for ES Modules, the tools for editing packages should also evolve to cater for prototyping, small experiments and package development.

Where do we start. The specification is still underway, resources are scarce. Nevertheless, going through the website helps us getting an idea of how streamlined the API is.

With every major browser vendors now supporting ES modules, it is time to have a closer look at the practical usage and applicability in production environments. We’ll first introduce some core concepts on the topic to then reflect on the main bottleneck currently slowing down a broader adoption.

Singleton are really bad, I mean, not really needed in JavaScript. That being said, you can find plenty of arguments on the topic often embellished with nice Java snippets.
Damien here, technical lead / creative developer / computational designer / generative artisan currently working with Variable, formerly with UNIT9.
My interest in computer graphics, generative art and data visualization is driven by an insatiable thirst for knowledge.
As a media and art practitioner, I conceive parametric systems, interpret datasets and vulgarise them, experiment in both physical and virtual spaces, as well as generate data art, very often via my medium of predilection: code.
Before growing an interest for computational design, I studied interactive development at Gobelins school in Paris.
