Mihika Bansal – Looking Outwards – 03

One piece of digital fabrication work that I find to be particularly interesting is the Arabesque Wall. This piece is particularly interesting due to the large variety of shapes and textures the artist is able to integrate into the piece. The different patterns that are made would be impossible to make by hand so it really demonstrates the true capabilities of machine and what they can do in terms of creating new and unique items.

The actual software is based on the tilting of the surfaces. The software works on this point until a structure that is composed of multiple surfaces and points comes about. The mathematical precision of this piece is also very interesting and something that could use more exploration.

The artists of this piece are Benjamin Dillenburger and Michael Hansmeyer. The actual printing of the piece took 4 days.
