Lab — Playground
Experiments off the main climb: making, creative coding, motion, packaging, graphic work, and art by Laurens Art Ramsenthaler.
Making
I laser cut an arm that automatically stacks eight cubes while I watch
I designed it and laser cut it. It finds eight cubes, works out the path, and stacks them while I watch. Then a camera on a hand, and it follows. I made a simulation with Cursor AI for the same arm, run from a website over serial.
Nora knows your answer before you say it
She asks three questions out loud. Two arms share a pen and write while you answer. The box opens. Three notes, all of them match. She never predicts. She uses a magician's one ahead.
A cloud answers a thunderstorm instead of hiding from it
Sometimes a message felt too much — Miru
I made two cushions. You touch yours and theirs glows orange somewhere else. If you both answer at the same moment, both glow red. Signing up, wifi, two ESP32s talking across the world. It ran four days at InterPlay, fully working.
Creative coding
Experiments with code: WebGL, Processing, shaders, TouchDesigner. Sound-reactive loops, generative comps, and form studies.
Motion, package, graphic, art
Motion experiments, packaging (Zotter, Makava), graphic studies, and other work that did not belong on the main climb.
