This parametric 3D fabrication project explores generative abstract forms. A digital dynamic stimulation was created to help inform what shapes to sculpt and what material should be used. I found this project to be inspirational because you can get lost in the forms created by the fluid movements. I also enjoyed how the artist used the digital stimulation and created sculptures to represent certain frames of the digital stimulation. There are algorithms used in the digital stimulation and with small tweaks to it, the stimulation can become drastically different. The algorithms were suppose to emulate objects in a turbulent situation. The creator’s artistic sensibilities manifest through interpreting the digital forms created and translating them into something physical (a sculpture). By using the final shapes to inform him on the texture treatment for the sculptures, each one is very different from the others, yet they come from the same place.
