Creative Coding + Storytelling
2024.04
In SC, the Surface City, nothing is hidden from the city as all the activities happen on the surfaces of buildings. The city may seem gravity-free and floating in the air from a visitor's point of view.
However, to the SC citizens, gravity does exist wherever the buildings are: they can stand on any surface of a building, vertical or horizontal, smooth or rough. They can also go anywhere from anywhere, as long as there is substance connecting the starting and the end point.
Full Story
Our city is built with p5.js coding and Adobe Illustrator. We first used Adobe Illustrator to create tile ../images, which were fed into our p5.js code for cityscape generation. The technique we adapted is the Wave Function Collapse model introduced in our projectshop.
Code available on GitHub.
