A bin-packing algorithm is normally used for the transport or 3d printing industry. This algorithm can calculate the optimal – occupying as less space as possible – packaging or irregular objects in a container.


statues from the different ‘classical’ periods are the most 3d scanned objects and online available worldwide
 
    .  .  








The movie ‘Arranging, Moving, torating, Packing’ is a sequential 3d scanned movie based on poses of classical sculptures and a packing algorithm. The scanning was produced with a process called photogrammetry which creates a 3d file out of photos of the ‘object’ from different angels. This specific created stop motion sequence consists of 8 poses and their trajectory – which was translated in a total of 200 steps, which was being recorded by a 3d scan studio that consisted out of 128 dslr camera’s.

As a result the final movie was made out of a database of 25600 images

Emotion recognition software analyse our emotions by deconstructing our facial expressions into temporal segments that produce the expression, called Action Units (AU - developed by prof. Paul Ekman) and deducting them into certain percentages of six basic emotion, happy, sad, angry, surprised, scared and disgusted. Together with actress Marina Miller Dessau and choreographer Marjolein Vogels all facial muscles in the face are being trained and deconstructed in 2018. This research resulted in multiple works.

 43 muscles in the face can be deciphered, which together can make a legion amount of movements and almost infinite combinations.Unfortunately these infinite possibilities are reduced in the FACS system to six basic emotions in the analysations of these movements. I would like to turn this process around.

Can algorithmic thinking make things more complex instead of simplifying things?



every frame and thereby millisecond is catagorized differently by the software in the analysation process.
