Project 3: Dynamic Drawing

The project that I found inspirational is Benjamin Dillenburger’s Numerical Material. This project was created in 2021.

Numerical Material. This photo portrays the overall form of the artwork.

Numerical Material. This photo potrays the details of the algorithm of how the artwork was created when observed closely.

I admire this project because, the overall shape of the artwork has curves and has circular and soft lines and forms, yet when looked closely, these curves are created my geometric shapes of lines (sticks). While the sticks are white, the curvature of the surface creates positive and negative spaces as well as shadows, and lighter spaces which make the artwork very interesting to observe. The “set of rules” of parametric object are that the multiple sticks are overlapped onto each other to create a curve, and to connect the “curves” in a technical aspect to have the artwork itself hold, there are supporting sticks that overlap between these curves.
