Looking Outwards 03: Computational Fabrication

I think it is particularly interesting to link computational and parametric objects to living matter; such as nature or human. After reading professor Levin’s, I was really intrigued by how they digitally visualized a human body with different levers to control the width and length of each body part.

Parametric 3D Form

I was interested in how each feature was correlated and dependent to one another and not completely independent, to make it a more accurate and realistic depiction of the actual human body. I have seen programs like this before, but each input for each body part could be changed completely on its own, allowing me to create a very unrealistic version of myself. I think that using programs like this would very much enhance the human life, in fields like fashion, medication, etc. I interpret this project as more of a scientific and technical approach than an artistically free one, but I think it is very interesting in ways how it can be of help in those various fields. If these kind of dependent parametric objects were created for other existences like animals or plants, I think that it will be a great way to determine and help sustain the natural environment as well.
