Raymond Pai-Looking Outwards-03

Marius Watz is a New York-based artist who works with visual abstraction fabrication with software. This piece is called ‘Probability Lattice’ which is appealing to me because it randomly creates interesting geometric forms. I don’t know the process, but there is probably 3D printing and randomization of the lengths of the sides of polygons involved. The artist’s style of sharp and jagged forms is clearly present in this example of his work. The name ‘Probability Lattice’ gave me the impression that the forms could visualize some form of probability data, but the artist does not elaborate on this explicitly. I’m curious about how this could be used to reflect ourselves, such as shapes based on how many steps we take through the day or how much we sleep through the week.
