Masterful concepts
What an amazing illustrator Whooli Chen is. Hailing currently from Taiwan, she earned a MA degree at the University of the Arts London. Her delicately sketched elements are always coloured with a subdued and calming palette.
What about her masterful compositions? This is a skill that is essential for all illustrators: from editorial process to concept.
Eskimo + heat?
A long time alumni Eskimo Design Studio have retained their original ethos—passionately dedicated to saving the world from the ugly and impractical saboteurs of interior design. Oh gotta love this quote!
They love making heat! A bit obscure? Not at all if you know they are product designers who specialize in heat systems.
Neuron and Mycoplasma Puzzles with art by David S. Goodsell
Two new biology themed puzzles from Nervous System! They feature the incredible artwork of scientist/artist David S. Goodsell, whose intricate, vibrant watercolor paintings explore the dense landscape of machinery that powers the cell. The Neuron Puzzle (423 pieces, $120) dives into the structure of an axon. That’s the part of a brain cell that carries electrical impulses to communicate with other cells. There’s also the Mycoplasma Puzzle (134 pieces, $50) a small puzzle which looks at one of the simplest known living organisms, Mycoplasma mycoides. Measuring only 300 nm this bacteria is the prototypical example of what makes life and...
Generating The Alphabet
https://amygoodchild.substack.com/embed
My current generative artwork-in-progress includes text, but I don’t want to use a font. In browser based art work, using a “web safe” font could produce inconsistent results, while including a font file would mean a large file size. Additionally, I don’t want a visual element of the project to be something I didn’t create myself.
Instead of using a font, I made my own path-based alphabet using p5.js and JavaScript.
Fonts, how do they work?I started by looking into what the various points on a font are called.

Corollaria Branch by Nervous System at MIT. photo credit: Emily Katrencik
In the end of January, we traveled to MIT to teach a workshop for undergraduates hosted by MIT’s Morningside Academy for Design (MAD). The result of the weeklong workshop is a new sculpture, Corollaria Branch, which was built in collaboration with our students and is now installed in an outdoor courtyard at MIT. MAD produced a video about the workshop which you can watch below or on Youtube. The 9 foot long aluminum sculpture is made of 130 flat aluminum panels generated by custom software. The hollow tree-like form of...

A strange kind of physical reality
A long-form generative art project coming to fxhash in partnership with FAB DAO on 11th Jan 2024.
This series is inspired, in the abstract, by the images I visualise when reading about quantum theory. Particularly thoughts of particles spreading out as waves and then collapsing into particles again at a moment of interaction. At the quantum scale, classical ideas of space and form come apart, replaced by concepts, probability and mathematics. Yet I cannot help but imagine tiny structures. There are moments when it feels like, if I concentrated closely enough or reached out in just the right way,...
