The basis of the research for the MA is built upon the foundations of my previous research paper on Morphogenesis:
MORPHOGEN_PROJ_COLINHIGGS_08H_240318
The research will include practical and theory led code and initially below is my research into using physical materials.
My idea is to create a installation that is Morphogenetic in nature with either the use of physical materials or not and incorporates Morphogenetic theory and code
PHYSICAL MATERIALS
using the book Simply Material I gathered together some interesting materials
–Click on the group of images below to enlarge; 1-13 images
Important features:
Sculpting forms to create something morphogenetic.
Pros: Can be quite beautiful in appearance
Cons: Non interactive and difficult to make interactive
Notes
1. Acrylics can be bent but static could use lights
2. Wood + cogs and pulleys and motors can work but messy
3. Glass is beautiful but static unless lights used inside
4. Bamboo is beautiful (the spheres are wicked with light inside)
5. Semi transparent glass is beautiful but difficult to work with
6. The crushed silk is gorgeous and looks amazing and organic:
Problem: a new skill
7. Japanese salt: Getting the salt to create certain structures looks wicked
Problem: how so make the structures?
8. Floating lights could be promising: investigate further

9. Clay 3d printers
Goldsmiths have a series of clay printers could be feasible to interact with in certain time periods: investigate further. (A fuse deposition modeller a 3D print). Maybe possible to obtain point cloud? (export to 3d app and then make a model and re-export and print.)

10. Small neon lights: no
11. polystyrene elements like a honeycomb : Problem: difficult to make
12. fibre optics : Problem: difficult to make?
The Beginners Guide to Fiber Optics – Instructables
13. Fabric bending structures Problem: difficult to make?
Using Transmaterial 2
I found the following materials: IMAGES 1-12
Click on the group of images below to enlarge; 1-12 images
1.-2. Steel cutting Templates. Kinda like laser cutting for steel Problem: difficult to make? Ask Adam
3. Ratan woven lights kinetic sculptures? Problem: difficult to make interactive
https://youtu.be/QV_C7_NjTjc
4. Memory materials: steam bending wood and plastics
Problem: difficult to make interactive
5. Arrays of LEDS Problem: difficult flexibility
6. Stretch Material Tensegrity cloth architecture. Problem: Not that easy to make
7. Colour changing fabric.
8. fibre optic weaves
9. Dune . Interactive light LED’s
Great work….Massive LED Matrix. Problem: massive array of LEDS. Investigate arrays
dune-roosegaarde-factsheet10. Large LED array
using the book Transmaterial Next
I found the following materials: IMAGES 1-12
- Hyper Matrix
- Interactive surface with acoustics
- Physical gel that lets a projector go the it
- Bloom. Luv this. Investigate further. Speak to James? Mathew ?https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HhX-8RyP214 could be a flower opening closing/chinese cocktail stick

A Touch of Code from the Book of Installations
Best Installation ideas:
using TOUCH crystals and salt. SALT IS DIGITAL
Replicating a printing process (using a printer of some form)
Release of a smoke
floor panels….
Using Gestures
Floating robots
Projections on floors always nice ( imaginary vegetation)
Optical fibres
interactive lanscapeof lights
displays on walls reacting to people….
physical glowing balls
colored glass blocks
taking 3d prints from censored images (kinect 3d)
Dichroitic film
Pendulim drawing with electromagnets
Some form of live drawing process
Physical arrays of objects that can change state.
Create physical grid arrays.
Physical sound sculpture.
