Lisa Smith has created the Cute generator. These blobular objects have (from what I can gather) RFID - chips inside that gather and collect information.
This information is the basis for their physical form, so each character is totally unique to it’s user.
What fascinates me about this gets to the core of what character design is all about. We identify abstract shapes readily - (a blob is an eye, a wiggle is a mouth ect) – because it is human nature to project ourselves onto other things. It makes a lot of sense to me that a character could be used as a form of expression of personal identity.
