LO 09: Anthony Prestigiacomo

Author: Anthony Prestigiacomo
Assignment: Looking Outward 03
Artwork: Probability Lattices
Artist: Marius Watz
Year: 2012

I agree with Anthony that the 4 pieces created are all quite unique, but similar in a very interesting way. The sharpness of the edges created by the angles give an interesting appearance to each individual sculpture. I would be interested to see what the parametric functions looked like to create the art pieces. Also, as the piece was created in 2012, the 3D filament is quite apparent. I would be interested to see how complex Watz could make these art pieces with today’s technology. 3D printers are much better at not leaving lines as well as can create more complex structures. I agree with Anthony that the artist relies on abstractionism which gives his artwork the feel that it does. On top of that, the Watz manages to reduce the abstractness with computation. The ties between the two gives the art its appeal which I imagine is quite difficult to create.
