Description:
Nuclei is a project about space, space filling and fields. Starting from a Sphere, the solid with the smallest description (4 float numbers, centre and radius) and applying several type of scalar fields to its volume, a large set of boxes is used to highlight the shape and the tension of the underlying forces, through the modification of their dimension, density and orientation. A Processing applet has been used for fast experiments and to produce DXF files for final renderings.
