Jubbies’s Looking Outwards Post on Joris Laarman piqued my interest. Joris Laarman is a Dutch artist who utilizes emerging technologies in his work and founded a self-named experimental design lab in the Netherlands.
The work being discussed was his “Strange Attractor Lamp” made in 2016: this was a dynamic piece of random-looking, sweeping metal elements woven together that had the ability to function as a lightning element.
Jubbies mentions that they enjoy the “blend of digital and organic” within this work and I feel similarly. I love how Joris Laarman is able to turn a material that most people think of as hard, cold, and industrial, and infuse an organic form onto it.
