Laura Rospigliosi (Lrospigl) Looking Outwards 03 (GROMPIES)

The project I found is titled GROMPIES. It was created by a group of students that were experimenting with liquid plaster set in stitched lycra moulds. They made the made the model through a virtually generated model, and transferring the textile through sowing by hand and sowing with a machine following the pattern of the embroidery of the lycra. By puling and stretching the fabric in different ways, and by pouring the plaster onto it, they realized these odd forms.

Computer model

I assume that the algorithms consisted of some random variables that helped achieve these curvilinear forms.

While the group did use a computer generated model, they took a lot of control once they used the patterns and shapes generated by the forms, to actually make the 3d model by hand.
