In Performa, for example, Shim built an algorithm that uses typing-input data to create typography in real time. Press a key and the corresponding character will stretch, thicken and elongate ...

The algorithm has the same input data – in our example, digital images showing geometric shapes, in different colors, and the same problem, which is to sort them into groups. It then uses what ...

In a blow for symmetry, Disney Research Zurich and ETH Zurich have developed a computer algorithm that can take any shape, no matter how cock-eyed, and make it spin like a top. The crux of the ...
