Generatorx workshop / Foldable Fractal

I participate in february to the generatorx workshop organise per Mariuz Watz.
It was workshop and exhibition about digital fabrication and generative systems.
So for arround 10 days the participant of the workshop were able to play arround with a laser cutter.
There were very interesting people in this workshop , and i have really enjoy doing this small project.
For this workshop i have been working with vvvv as well , i would have love to play arround with processing , but it would have take to much time , so i decided to keep concentrate on experimenting with the laser cutter.So i generated a fractal who was actually based on my lsystem patch , then export the vertex data into a svg file ( scalable vector graphic)
Bye the way i have been working pretty much with svg , tring to implement as much function as i can , i will try to upload some module in the future…
Once my svg file was created , i just had to load into the machinne via corel draw , wait twice 20 minut , and then it was cut.
One of my cardboard has move a bit so the laser didn´t cut it totaly , i had manually to finish cutting the stuff , it was really long … then all the piece were exibit at the DAM (Digital Art Museum) in Berlin.
Here is the flickr collection of photos from the workshop.
Big thanks to Mariuz
