aesthetics and computation

So how does it look when a designer who is also a programmer designs and programs things? A few shortcuts:


research and development

In parallel of his freelance work, Ariel spends a respectable amount of time on R&D (some call it art). A few representative labs:

  • chronotext.org (2003-2013), a growing collection of software experiments exploring the relation between text, space and time.
  • the chronotext toolkit (2011-2013), an open-source C++ code-base extending Cinder, for creating dimensional text experiments and cross-plaform mobile apps and games.
  • chronotext.com (2010-2012), a line of unusual apps for the iPhone.
  • mobile-sand (2004-2005), a concept demo for a new kind of mobile gaming experience.
