117CA

By Raven Kwok / July 16, 2026 / Generative, Typography, Works / No Comments

System 117CA is originally created to generate visual variants for the Processing Community Day (PCD) Shanghai 2026 event, which I co-organize with NYU Shanghai IMA, Avant Contra (罗霄) and Code2Art Community.

It is a customized tweener that works on rectangles and annulus sectors, parsing the compatible shapes as series of vertices either in a zigzag or an orthogonal spiral layout. Each shape stretches out and folds up into the target shape, in a way partially similar to my earlier work Glyphshift.
