Refik Anadol’s project “Melting Memories” is a 3D animation that utilizes data paintings, augmented data sculptures, and light projects to create a contemporary art piece translating the elusive process of memory retrieval. This piece really inspired me because I’ve always wanted to do work with 3D motion design and computational design! With the help of the Refik Anadol Studio, consisting of a design, a sound design, software development, scientific support/UCSF Neuroscape Lab team, they were able to produce a beautiful installation that blends technology and contemporary art. From this project, I’m inspired to create my own work utilizing science and data. This project pushes me to explore beyond the realm of pure design or pure art or pure science and explore the intersections of these different fields. Anadol’s work really goes beyond expectations, exploring new and uncharted territories, making groundbreaking discoveries. I hope that I will be able to learn the skills needed to create such stunning visuals. Currently, I am teaching myself to use Cinema 4D and JavaScript!
