Assignment 4 – Benedikt
Möbius Strip
At Assingment 3 (hier the Text of Assignment 3 = TEXT), I talk about, that the Möbius strip is an universal sign for an confusing and paradox eternity.
I want to use this sign to get the students to think about there projects. I try to visualize the Möbius strip and the “Möbius Dimensional Space” in some pictures.
If you interested in more information, read the interview whith Paul Ryan about his work: Cybernetics Guerilla Warfare Revisited: From Klein worms to Relational Circuits.
He talks about the “Everyman´s Möbius Strip” and “cybernetic self-correction”.
Möbius Space – simple extrusion of an Möbius strip in both sides
pointing to an point from two diffrent uv coordinates
Play with the strip
then I played with the topology of the Möbius strip inside Grasshopper, changed Rotation or the height of control lines. I want to make an shape which is more useful for an shelf/wall.
the graphes show the height (left) and the rotation (right)
The Problem
,is how to construct an extreme complex shape of an Möbius strip. Hier is the Problem visualized in an curvature analysis. You can see every coordinate on the has an different curvature in relation to his neighbors.
That means: every Vector in the normal direction to the Möbius surface, has an different direction. Therefore it is impossible to builder the Möbius strip out of planar rectangles.
But I made some tests, to show what it could look like.
My next target
, was to make an classification with something like a logo. The logo generator takes some “information”(actually it is data) of the students project and generates an unique logo. This logo generator takes an Text and count how often you used an word. Then the words, which are often used, like “the” and “and” are erased und the other words are clustered (means similar words, were count together). The last step is to bring the top4 7 Words in your Logo and to visualise the frequency of use by circle size. The next image shows some test.
first the Grasshopper text analysis in custom Python components
this is the logo interpretation of my text of assignment 3
this is the logo of the text: Cybernetics Guerilla Warfare Revisited
The logo should bring you to think, about your project and if the words the logo generator counts are the words which describe your project well.
And if not, which words do and why do you use other words more often ?
If there any questions about my project or in general, pleas make an commend to this blog entry an ask.
