In recent decades, developments in software and hardware technologies have created dramatic shifts in design, manufacturing and research. Software technologies have facilitated automated process and new solutions for complex problems. Computation has also become a platform for creativity through generative art and design. New hardware platforms and digital fabrication technologies have similarly transformed manufacturing, offering more efficient production and mass customization. Such advances have helped catalyzed the maker-movement, democratizing design and maker culture. This influx of new capabilities to design, compute and fabricate like never before, has sparked a renewed interest in material performance.
We are now witnessing significant advances in active matter, 3D/4D Printing, materials science, synthetic biology, DNA nanotechnology and soft robotics, which have led to the convergence of software, hardware and material technologies and the growing field of programmable materials.
This conference was about the emerging field of active matter and programmable materials that bridges the worlds of art, science, engineering and design, demonstrating new perspectives for computation, transformation and dynamic material applications.
If over the past few decades we have experienced a software revolution, and more recently, a hardware revolution, this conference aims to discuss the premises, challenges and innovations brought by today’s materials revolution. We can now sense, compute, and actuate with materials alone, just as we could with software and hardware platforms previously. How does this shift influence materials research, and how does it shape the future of design, arts, and industrial applications? What tools and design processes do we need to advance, augment and invent new materials today? What are the key roles that industry, government, academic and public institutions can play in catalyzing the field of programmable materials?
This two-day conference consisted of a range of talks and lively discussion from leading researchers in materials science, art & design, synthetic biology and soft-robotics along with leaders from government, public institutions and industry.

I used to think "photoshop" was a dirty word, but I'm really beginning to find it a powerful method of creating the look I want. I decided this shot could do well as day-for-night, and I thought her dress would be better if it matched the sky tones. After some pixel pushing... voilà!

Today I went up to Manchester, New Hampshire where my paintings and drawings of mountains have been on display since mid-January. This was my first chance to see how the art looked hung on the wall. This is a photo that I took with my phone cam of part of the show. These little drawings were once an acrylic painting, but I cut it up and made nine small landscapes with conte crayon. I call them transformational drawings, and for this show I had them hung in a row, as they appear in this photo.

My overall project development. I started with the brief, I vaguely understood it at first. I knew straight away I was to get on with my transformation research. I wrote myself a mini proposal after my understanding of the brief to guide myself onto what to do next, I mapped out my thoughts and everything I could think of to do with transformation. I spent time grasping what I could, this helped having these transformation types as it boosts my ideas.
In my research I looked in depth into themes of transformation, I really benefitted from reading the themes as I gain more knowledge about how transformation is is used in specific ways, e.g. talking about the social and political outcomes for ‘real world transformations’. I got an insight into the ‘agents of transformation’ the ‘Who, Why, What and How’, the process, and the characteristics of transformation. More of my research included the marketing side, different design aspects and how they improve the branding side of transformation. Again it was helpful to look at this information as I gain more general knowledge of transformation.
I had received a small brief to explore the transformation of playing cards. Like usual I liked into it, finding examples. I put some first thoughts down and looking at the options. We did some pattern transformations for light practice. I then got straight to the point and started playing with some cards, I bought many packs and started with some simple transformations, this could include using the different symbols and mixing up the cards. Here I thought origami was a great product of transformation, I did a cute little frog and looked at other ways to use cards. Next was some proper hand rendered with pen. This was transforming what I could using what was on the card. I expanded this more with trying digitally rendered, it was great to try another medium./
I wanted to step up the thought process a bit. I had some inspirations and managed to go gather some more improved, detailed set of ideas. I stretched further with my ideas using what I could on the the card, I loved being able to do more thought through improved ideas and was a great eye opener. Following our pattern work we did some graphical versions, here we look at different techniques, first with the digitally rendered pattens, but secondly some shading techniques to get my physical skills up. Looking towards some more outcomes we did a bit of port right work, this was by hand as we do profile and sides of ourselves. It worked out wells as I was able to practice the shading techniques more.
Before the ideas progressed I wanted to get on with some more research on artist who have done transformation. on this hand we looked at artists that had transformed old masterpieces. This also looked into the very interesting Guerrilla Girls. I wanted to take on more of the artists transformations, so I thought id do the same and try the same. I did some sampling of the artists, and it ended to be really fun and I benefited from taking on the thought process’s of the artists. I then looked at adjusters and how they make an impact on companies, and the transformation of the adjuster. I did the same thing with the artists and had ago myself witch was even better and a joy to do. Adjusters could be a great transformation outcome.
My next set of research looked into playing card related transformations done by artisits, theres have been very popular. I was able to read into the artist and his process of the transformations, this obviously positive impacted my process. I was able to analyse and reflect what they do. For one of the artists I did another reaction. It was a ben swift style portrait and having previous knowledge of illustrator I liked it very much and it came out very well.
I continued with some more illustration practice and some more playing card subjects. My next step was very interesting, it intersects with the previous typography knowledge. It was great looking at another type of transformation. I reflected on in design looking at how I could adapt my type for future.
The Transformation ...
Looking back now, I can be honest to myself. I listened to the good songs, followed the politics (or counter-politics) of the day, lived the social norms. I was bright, had a lot of success and I felt like I was a good person; heck, a lot of people told me I was a good person, a really nice guy. I didn't think about the emptiness, unless there was a tragedy, and I could always blame something/someone else for my misfortune. Now, I think about all the people I've hurt, sinned against and not treated as I want to be treated. It was all about me being self-centered and not thinking or caring about the other person. "They hurt me first!" or "I didn't want to hurt them, it just happened," was what I told myself. "It wasn't my fault," I could justify, "that's just the way it turned out."
I was living in darkness, focused on myself instead of loving my neighbor as myself. I wanted to be accepted, acceptable ... one of the doers and shakers ... and I found that, even with all of that, I had very little real to offer to someone who was truly hurting. I'd mouth some nice words, but I couldn't really do anything that would help transform their pain, maybe ease it a lot or a little, but not transform their lives. For this, I truly repent; I was like a brute animal, full of strength but so little or no wisdom. I felt I was owed a good life, after all; this is America, and if we just worked hard enough ...!
I was conformed to the world, and little did I realize the poison I was taking and spreading. As I've been on my walk knowing I have a Savior, I still screw it up ... my training in being what I was is hard to overcome! I had it "pretty good" in worldly terms, and that is hard training to overcome. I've learned that accolades from the world are empty; they change over time, and there are always people younger who have what I had, or more. My accolades were put on the dusty shelf of yesterday.
I've learned to follow the promises made by God to all His children that help me to become transformed. I can't promise you things will be easy, because for almost all of us, they won't. After all, we crucified Jesus because He wanted all of us to be saved from deception, disease, pain ... and not being close with our Creator. I've learned to rely on something greater than myself, and have discovered a peace in my life that surpasses anything I believed possible; and, it's not about me. It's about we.
Paul helped me learn that I could be transformed by relying on the Word of God, that something greater than any person, place or thing loved me; nothing could separate me from Him. No angel, not hot body, no country ... nothing. So, I've learned to clean toilets and be thankful. I've learned to trim trees and bushes and see His beauty in them. I've learned to capture images of this creation and give Him praise and glory, and to worship Him during trials and tribulations, as well as time of happiness. I've learned at all time to have joy, because He is working in me.
I'll be adding verses as the spirit fills my heart; at this time, during these turbulent times, I just wanted to share with you a personal transformation that transcends the created ... to the Creator.
