The theory of Aesthetics DNA is able to represent and clarify a differing approach into natural formations and algorithmic concepts. The use of investigation into the diverse types of Spiral DNA and the way in which some spiral cones have the ability to manipulate the DNA sequences to whatever design, shape or function they want, clear illustrated the desire to assess and annotate this conception.

The first group iteration deals with the evolution of the spiral cone by group of ellipses and the basis that creates the pattern and base structure that will eventually turn into the final conceptual aesthetics of the DNA.

The concept of growth can be represented with the second and third group iterations as they demonstrated and represent the changing nature of the spiral DNA can illustrate the pattern in changing amount, various radius of ellipses and different surface dividing. The use of the length slider displayed an opportunity to understand and grasp the way in which to increase the y and z axis. However it might represent a repetition towards the shape and design but within most spiral DNA the shape is consistent as the DNA tries to ensure that its realistic form in the real world.

The fourth group iteration can show changed size of ellipses which will increase the slider to greater y and z axis heights.

Overall, the purpose of the Aesthetics DNA was to show the process and growth of a DNA and how the use of technological systems can annotate and transform natural formations into design. The use of the Aesthetics DNA can explore the domains of genes, biology, abstract real world, and life.

WEEK 2 TASK

Theme: Twist; Spiral cell; DNA sequences; Spiral staircase-like structure.
Summary: Basically my idea start as the 2D shape as pentagon, hexagon. When I thinking about how can I connect with those different shapes. I found the shape of DNA is quiet amusing. They made of chemical molecular bond with pentagon and hexagon shapes and they exist as spiral staircase-like structure in real world but we cannot see with naked eye. However, through the microscope, the many aesthetics and geometry of DNA are seen. Twist, distortion, spiral staircase-like structure are mainly elements I found on them.

                                          e.g.

The twist DNA actually are made of pentagon or hexagon shape of molecular bond.

Basic distortion shape of  DNA

The real one may looks not that nice but the its structure of twist is presented well.

After digital process. Looks good. Focus on spiral staircase-like structure.

Show how the molecule bond connected in realistic.

Intresting use of distinctive shape for purpose.

WEEK 1 TASK

-Three chosen images of 3 different systems or themes: Veins in a leaf; Boulders randomly occurring on a plain; Fractals.

1.Veins in a leaf
It shows different lines and when these lines meet will form distinct forms with different angles. I think it's quiet useful when I making the geometry forms by using the first principle, e.g. "If a straight line that meets two straight lines makes the interior angles on the same side less than two right angles, then those two straight lines, if extended, will meet on that same side."

2.Boulders randomly occurring on a plain
This can be represented by the recurring forms and randomly occurring.

3. Fractal
The fractal can be illustrated by different shapes, volumes of geometry occurring over times change.
