SoftwareMoko: The Generative Aesthetic Between Bodies and Machines

A revolutionary visual language by SoftwareBoy that reveals the hidden energy within human bodies, vehicles, and objects through generative design.

 

 

Genesis: From a Scratch to the Visualization of SoftwareMoko

In November 2023, SoftwareBoy purchased a Mercedes CLA 180 that was already scratched along its side. Instead of opting for a traditional repair that would erase the flaw, he chose to embrace that imperfection as a creative starting point.

At first, he followed the path of the existing scratch, extending it into a continuous line along the entire flank of the vehicle. However, he realized the true power lay in following the car's natural lines—those aerodynamic curves that seemed to already exist in potential, waiting only to be revealed.

The turning point came when he began applying the same principle to human bodies. Observing how lines could flow along the spine, shoulders, and hips, he recognized a profound analogy with Tā Moko, the ancient Maori tattoos that follow bone structure and map a person's inner energy.

From that gesture, SoftwareMoko was born: not mere decoration, but the revelation of a latent energy. The car became the first SoftwareMoko—a fusion of mechanical form and organic flow.

 

What is SoftwareMoko?

SoftwareMoko is a generative visual language based on geometry, anatomy, and algorithmic thinking. For its applications, SoftwareBoy develops each project following three fundamental principles:

• Tension lines and dynamic curves of any surface—human, automotive, or object.

• Use of mathematical principles like Bézier curves, splines, and the golden ratio (φ ≈ 1.618).

• Balancing symmetry and flow to create harmony between structure and movement.

 

"SoftwareMoko does not decorate—it reveals the energy already present in the form."

To practically apply this concept, it is essential to understand that energy, although intrinsically asymmetric and unstable by nature, becomes visible and perceptible only through symmetrical structures.

Symmetry serves as a visual reference field that allows us to recognize and interpret the energy flow. Without this ordered structure, the energy would remain chaotic and invisible to the human eye.

It is precisely this dialectical contrast that gives power to the SoftwareMoko language: symmetry provides the reading grid through which energetic dynamism can manifest understandably, transforming bodies and objects into different expressions of the same universal geometry.

PROJECTS

 

HUMANS: Body Mapping & Digital Art

On the human body, SoftwareMoko maps curves along the spine, shoulders, and hips, transforming the body into an energy diagram. On different physiques, it highlights unique traits—fragility, strength, or fertility.

 

 

Hoodie Collection (Hoodie,Pants, T-shirt)

Created in collaboration with Anima Maison (@anima_maison), an Italian boutique near Rome with years of experience in specialized tailoring. SoftwareBoy aimed to unite the centuries-old Italian sartorial tradition, with its deep knowledge of materials and artistic-aesthetic expertise, with the digital practicality and innovation of the SoftwareMoko language.

The production followed a completely artisanal process: starting from an oversized pattern and raw cotton, the SoftwareMoko design, originally developed on a woman's body, was rescaled with a 10% enlargement to fit any physique.

 

 

After creating full-size paper templates, the design was transferred onto Made in Italy leather and stitched to the cotton with coordinating thread, in a precision work that precedes the final assembly. Clients can choose colors and styles to apply to clothing items, creating connections between generative geometry and human form.

 

Video "DESOLATION"

Created in 48 hours as the completion of the body trilogy, this short animation explores SoftwareBoy's feelings and thoughts through an intentionally non-explicit autobiographical text. The narrative unfolds through three languages (Italian, Japanese, and English) without subtitles, rejecting any literal translation to convey a sense of half-truths about the author.

 

 

The short film—created entirely with Blender in 24 hours of production—features XBoy X-24 DESOLATION together with SoftwareMoko Ex and SoftwareMoko Garments.

 

CARS: Automotive Customization

The SoftwareMoko language evolved through experiments with Mercedes-Benz vehicles:

The first application of SoftwareMoko, where the lines followed aerodynamics like invisible forces.

Personalized application of SoftwareMoko on any vehicle. The visual language adapts to the aerodynamic lines of the bodywork, transforming the car into a moving energy diagram.

 

SoftwareMoko represents the intersection of digital innovation, traditional craftsmanship, and generative design—a unique visual language that transforms surfaces into energetic expressions.
