Conditional Design

Conditional Design is essentially the focus on change. Conditional designed looks at the process as the product rather than the outcome as the product. The influence of technology is constantly changing the way we think and interact through our adaption to new mediums.

Unfortunately my images of the condition design workshop were on my memory stick that corrupt, the following gifs are made from the videos on https://conditionaldesign.org/workshops

Information of each conditional design found from https://conditionaldesign.org/workshops

Each worker receives a colored marker to draw with and is asked to execute the simple but sometimes self contradicting rule. Each turn took exactly one minute and the rule was executed exactly 60 times.

RULE
End each turn with a perfect circle which is larger
than the previous one

RULE
Each turn, find the most empty space on
the paper and place a dot in the middle of it.

RULE
Tasks Performed All Following Turns by Each Participant
Folding the paper

Bring your corner of the paper to the end of the line drawn by the participant on your right.
If that participant has only placed a dot, bring your corner to that dot.
While keeping the corner at its position, press the paper flat and make a fold.
Unfold the paper again to its standard position.
If the fold is almost parallel to the edge of the paper, place some small dots at the ends of the fold, so to clearly mark it as your fold.
Draw a straight line
Start your line at the end of your last drawn line.
Your line should always follow a fold.
Your line may cross other lines but it may not be on top of other lines.
The end of your line should always be where one of your own folds crosses a fold by someone else.

RULE
Task to be performed every turn by each player
Draw a straight line
The line must connect two dots.
The angle of the line must be within the following range: 0 to 45 degrees for the black lines, 45 to 90 degrees for the blue lines, 90 to 135 degrees for the red lines, 135 to 180 degrees for the green lines.
Connect the line to an existing line if possible.
Draw the shortest possible line from your starting point. If you enclose an area (a plane surrounded by lines) then hatch it with lines parallel to the line you enclosed the area with. The enclosed area may not contain unconnected dots or open ended lines.
Place a dot
The position of the dot is not further away than 10 cm from other dots and not inside the convex hull of all dots.
