Looking Outwards 02: Generative Art

The project Autotroph.OBJ was created by Raven Kwok in 2020.

I admire this project because it combines digital art with a real 3D space. The algorithm of this project is simply polygon drawing method. The artist applies the work onto different layers of the acrylic glass sheet and customized lighting travels back and forth between those layers, which creates a subtle animation of cell division. The biggest inspiration from this project is although we can create 3D dimensions in digital art, it is still a 2D platform, on a screen, or canvas. If we can think of the project in a real 3D space, the boundaries are broken and we can generate more interring artworks.
