How it works
A generative algorithm combines basic graphic shapes and pattern on a square area of 8 by 8 equally sized fields, according to a sophisticated scheme. Some elements occupy only one field, some have a size of 2 x 2, 2 x 3, 4 x 4 etc.. This creates patterns that are absolutely unique each time and there are endless possibilities. The mixture of filled and transparent elements creates an almost three-dimensional appearance. Sometimes it looks like you could walk into the object and hide behind a corner. Sometimes some of the smaller and finer elements repeating next to each other are creating a kind of digital glitch effects.
Projects
Artifaction xARTIFACTION x r26 x brandneo
RuhrSummit, also known as r26, is one of the biggest startup and innovation events in the Ruhr area. It brings together startups, corporates, investors, innovators, and creators for two days of inspiring talks, networking, and collaboration.
This year, we, 9elements, shared a booth at r26 with our friends from Brandneo. As a longtime sponsor, the team behind the RuhrSummit website, and host of the Speaker Dinner the evening before, we wanted to showcase 9elements at our booth. Artifaction turned out to be the perfect icebreaker.
As always, we created a special edition for the event, customizing everything from the artifact icons to the color palette for r26.
So the ARTIFACTION x r26 x brandneo - edition was born!
