Many years ago, I was really into the idea of pixel art, sometimes even building things out of lego. I found this project while trying to help one of my coworkers with his own crafts project.
If I recall correctly, this was the piece my friends and I discussed on our last Article Club ever. It touches on human creativity and skill, the value of unique objects, and how humans can assign and retract their ideas of what is or is not valuable in an instant.
I didn’t really appreciate the meaning of different colors in history until listening to this.
I’ve previously shared some of Simon’s work on generative corals. I totally should have looked at his previous work, too. These floorplans are not very efficient, but with the correct set of constraints could lead to better designs that a human would not come up with on their own.
