In this exercise, we were first to learn how to create a series of distorted base grids, that will be the starting
point for the making of a custom pattern. Designing with a parametric link between the base panel and final design,
then we start making design decisions that not only take aesthetic considerations into account but also
consider the protocols of production as a generative part of the design. This exercise focuses on the mechanics
of the process, while later exercise will move in focus the aesthetic decisions.
In this design, we created digital art through processing script, re-edited the shape of the panel, and physically created the panel. Through the simple operation of the robotic arm, the final artwork is created.

One Layer at the Time engages spatial organization and time condition for the production of a 12 second video of continuous iterations of colored patterns. Starting from the chosen precedent, the interactions emerge from the geometrical properties of the canvas instead of being mapped to it.
With a piece of MDF cut into shape, pieces of acrylic engraved with patterns, as well as our graphic print, we compiled these pieces together as one board that was then installed onto a robotic arm. The robotic arm moved in a sequenced motion. where by taking photos of each set motion, we were able to combine these imaqes as one, which had allowed us to further reprocess and develop this graphic.
