Proximity Studies Prints

Working in digital is great, but there's nothing better than getting your hands on printed versions of your projects. So, when we'd finished our recent "Proximity Studies" motion project, we decided to produce a series of 100 individual generative A3 prints.

"Proximity Studies" is the culmination of a series of "proximity" related experiments written in Processing (processing.org).

We were interested to see what forms would emerge, when points, arranged in rigid structures are distorted, corrupted, transformed or displaced.

Once the "Proximity Studies" motion project was complete we took our favourite scene and re-purposed it to create a series of 100, one-off generative prints.

We used processing to draw & layout each print, and by varying random seed values, interconnections & position, we were able to create the 100 unique, hand selected prints.

We've been trying to find a project to work with Rik from Ripe Digital on for ages, and this was perfect for their short run, high quality approach.

Rik, helped us enormously with choosing the best paper & process and advised on how to produce the artwork for their HP indigo 7800 digital press.

The final prints are white ink, digitally printed on A3 Fedrigoni 290gsm Sirio Nero.
