Jessica Rosenkrantz is a MIT & Harvard graduate, who studied Architecture and Biology. After graduating, in 2007, she founded a design studio called Nervous System with Jesse Louis-Rosenberg. They work to bring in the fields of science, art and technology together.
In Nervous System, they produce unique and affordable art, jewelry and household appliances based on patterns found in nature. I admire their Arboreal Pendant Lamp the most because I think it is amazing to portray nature, like light, from the computationally generated nature patterns.
To present their work effectively, they explain their motives clearly and walk through how they created a certain program step by step, so the audience can easily understand. They also reason through every step of why they did what they did; for example, on approximately 18:30 of the video, they explain how they decided their boundaries for their program. In order to present my own work, I should learn to present in a logical, easily-to-follow-along manner.
