Greg Lynn and Bernard Cache were some the first to adopt Gilles Deleuze’s ideas of “Objectile” and “Object”. Both Lynn and Cache were more interested in designing frameworks that could produce variations of a design, rather than a single object. Like a jazz musician, hopping in and out of improvisation. The flexibility and agility of this approach can not be understated.

This is a series of lines inspired by George Hersey’s, “possible Palladian Villas”. This series was generated using 2 different algorithms, the first a narrative based algorithm that set the parameters for which tools would be used ( a computer), which strategy that tool would facilitate (split) and what object that strategy would be enacted on (line). The second algorithm took parsed information from the first algorithm and devised a series of 50 lines, each with 111 steps.
The line segments are all equally spaced and all vary. Each line was programmed to randomly choose a number between 1 and 4. Each number was assigned a direction in the XY plane, then the lines were “baked” and control points were added to show the vector of each segment.
