Second half of @variable_io @dmnsgn will be doing a "Lightning Talk" Thursday at threejs.paris giving a quick insight into SpiritPlant our biggest project of last year. Come say hi! Multiple screens, multiple devices, interaction, generative design, GPU compute and more!

Back to Poland! I'm going to speak about brand algorithms and creative coding in design at GrafConf this week. What's the difference between branding based on algorithms compared to traditional design? How do you automate creation of assets without loosing control over the final outcome? What's our role once AI does big part of our daily tasks? + hard earned lessons and couple of cool demos and experiments I haven't shown before. Can't wait for Q&A and learning from others.

Anyone up for nano-banana Nodes? Turns out that adding gemini-2.5-flash-image-preview is not that hard. But the wait after each prompt... ⏱️☕️

A 1100 words about what JavaScript/WebGL can do, why not all generative art is NFTs or genAI and more. variable.io/notes/spirit-pla…

Blast from the past: Critical Dialogues artwork displayed at Digital Catapult HQ in London. That rotating screen....

So Grok 4 came out and I always wanted Figma integration in @nodes_io so I vibe coded myself one. No more genAI videos in your mockups. Bring mockups to you art instead!

Generating plants from a triangle to a meadow in 8k. WIP of Spirit Plant. Each leaf was modelled procedurally from scratch using our engine and @nodes_io. Every plant structure, every color and simulation behaviour too. Click to open in fullscreen to see details. JavaScript can do.. if you want and spend almost 8 months on it.

Some #debugviewart shots of SpiritPlant while i'm working on full documentation. They expose how each plant is made out of modules. It allowed us to split procedural generation in phases, optimise for mobile and move animations to GPU (using WebGL, instancing and transform feedback for simulation).

One thing about your engine being able to push as much geometry as hardware creators intended is designs not before possible in any of our previous projects. High res of Spirit Plant compositions at about 100M triangles.

This tweet from @golan xitter.cf/golan/status/136939509… reminds me how much i still love UCC Organism representing school as a living cell-like structure where students move across classrooms based on real live data variable.io/ucc-organism/ Most alive project i've worked on ever.

I must say @infobeautyaward trophy is a work of beauty this year! IBM Tech Garden is one of our fav projects in a long time here at @variable_io. #Data, #generative, art, #webgl, at 4k, #realtime, all in @nodes_io ? Yeah! In depth case study coming next week!

Still not too late to vote for our Technology Garden informationisbeautifulawards… . Worth mentioning that installation was made completely with @nodes_io : live data processing and visualisation, 4k realtime visuals in #webgl, communication with iPad UI and gpgpu particles for intro. – at Richmond, London
