SHAPE GRAMMARS - JANNIS MAROSCHECK KARTONIERT (TB)

How can unique pieces be mass produced? Or: How can the computer take over and support creative
work? Sol LeWitt writes in his Sentences on Conceptual Art: The idea becomes a machine that
makes the art. [...] There are many side effects that the artist cannot imagine. These may be
used as ideas for new works. A form is removed from the status of pure art as soon as it is
filled with unambiguous information or applied utility. Its poetic function as art is thus
weakened  its practical function as design is strengthened. With the right system  an idea can
also become a machine that produces design instead of art. This is then called generative
design. However  this form of design is primarily used to display complex data sets or to fire
off overwhelming visual spectacles. Based on the work of Sol LeWitt  graphic designer Jannis
Maroscheck has designed and programmed his own production systems that can draw an unlimited
number of individual graphic shapes. The result is a systematic catalog-a kind of dictionary of
shapes-for browsing and exploring geometric systems  in which one can always discover something
new. Shape Grammars is intended as a handbook for graphic designers for the design of fonts 
logos and pictograms  which  in addition to 150 000 generated shapes  shows some potentials and
limitations of generative design. At the same time  the work serves as a basis for further
research on more complex systems and artificial intelligence. The computer can thus already
function as a dialog partner in the creative process.
