Description

Caffeine, also known as theine or 1,3,7-trimethylxanthine, is an alkaloid that acts as a psychotropic stimulant and mild diuretic. TECHNICAL SKILLS This digital molecule combines data visualisation (scientific representation) with an artistic reinterpretation of chemical compounds in a generative / creative fashion. Developed in collaboration with scientists, it draws on both the latest technological developments as well as natural processes. Models of drugs and molecules are generated using artificial intelligence supported by AlphaFold 2, the software used in the research lab enabled us to determine the shape of the molecules and drugs in order to match the current scientific representation, originally designed to predict protein structures from amino acids. For the final result of the molecules shape, the algorithm is realised using a combination of Processing and GLSL. The first is an OOP language based on Java, used for creating the algorithm’s “backbone”, the latter a shading language that we used for processing and image filtering. Processing generative property seed = 42069, paletteType = 4, blobType = 1, stripesAmountType = 2, stripesColorShiftType = 1, deformationType = 0, moleculeIntegrityType = 3, moleculeLightingType = 0, hueValue = 0, satValue = 0, brtValue = 0, scale = 1, ffmpegThreads = 0; boolean drawBackground = false, drawBlob = false, drawFrame = true, drawText = true, drawObject = true, animate = true, exitWhenDone = true; CONCEPT While the consumption of images and data on the Internet have now, more than ever, become an addiction stimulating the release of feel-good hormones, this project uses modern NFT technology to stage the representations of molecules (symbolising our tangible reality) through the prism of drugs and water.
