JUST ARRIVED AT KINGLY COURT- MOIRE INDEX





A follow up to Grid Index, in this book, Carsten Nicolai explores the moirĂ© effect—a phenomenon that can be created by the overlay of lines. Although such interference patterns are mostly considered to be unwanted side effects, they are actually extremely interesting from an aesthetic perspective. This first extensive visual compendium of these patterns is accompanied by a CD that contains not only the featured moirĂ©s as digital files, but also individual elements that can be used to create an almost endless amount of new overlays. By analyzing and systematically unlocking these fundamental structures of crucial importance to the visualization of data, Nicolai has again produced not only a work of art, but also a practical tool for anyone working creatively.

Format: 18.5 × 23 cm
Features: 312 pages, b/w, hardcover, incl. CD-ROM
£37.50 available to by in store or online

PLUS AND MINUS BACK IN STOCK





Last month and in no time at all + and - was a sell out at Material but it is now back in stock- phew!

The visual game “Plus and minus” consists of 72 cards, each having a different image. Many of these images (48) have a transparent background and can thus be superimposed to compose other more complex images and stimulate the child’s creative capacities.
Superimposing some of the tree images creates a wood. Superimposing on the wood the image of rain or that of the sun or moon, or of a flight of birds, or of a passing dog, and so on, the total image can be continuously modified.
n these square cards the colour is perfectly balanced with the drawing, and together they simply tell stories, which are bonded together by the imagination of the players: the role of the authors is just to give different suggestions to let the players compose countless stories.

It is available to purchase at £35.00 in store or online
