Marius Watz is a generative artist based in New York and Oslo. I admire his modular lattice because the design is abstract but extremely intricate. It looks spiky and lifeless when you first see it but the longer you stare at it, the more complex and vivid it starts to become, like some carefully engineered DNA tower. In fact, Watz 3D printed the parametric objects using ABS plastic. He is known for using pure software technology and digital fabrication technology to generative hard-edged, and often vivid colored artworks. At any Watz displays, he would always show the simulation and processing on display to let people truly experience the making of generative arts. He aspire to show the audience the real side of generative art, not just the final product like Hollywood which aspires to imitate the real world.
