Research output: Chapters, Conference Papers, Creative and Literary WorksRGC 32 - Refereed conference paper (with host publication)peer-review

Abstract

This paper describes the procedures and theory behind Construction in Self, a generative work based on the Lorenz oscillator, implemented in the programming environment Max/MSP. After a brief survey of relevant works, the following are described: properties of the Lorenz system and the exploratory, self-similar and "open" form it suggests; calculations and parameter mappings; modified nonstandard synthesis methods and the construction of a deterministic yet emergent structure aided by limited self-evaluation. In conclusion, its potential for creativity and future work are discussed.
