Ghost in/of the Shell

Rotating Parts & horizontal Strips of Shell Surfaces • HighRes Stills are available at Flickr

For the design of a 12" Vinyl series I utilized once again Andreas Koeberle’s Surface Library for Processing. The following stills are showcasing a few basic sketches (work in progress) that ‘ll be extended with additional color and typography for 12" discobags and label stickers. After a few first sketches and experiments I got excited by the calligraphic aesthetic of single elements and objetcs as well as by the spatial diversity.

The form is generated out of single parts and horizontal strips of a mathematical shell (originally created by Paul Bourke in 1989 and ported to a Processing library by Andreas Koeberle) multiplied and animated by using a rotating particle system.
