LO-3: Computational Fabrication

The work “Intersections” by the Bengler team really stuck out to me. The project aimed to create laser sintered sculptures that depicted the map of Oslo, Norway. In one of the maps, they focused on the roads and on the other they took a look at how the map intersected with income statistics. I found it extremely beautiful with the black and white contrast between the map and the ground. It seems so delicate and intricate which just adds to how visually appealing it is. You can tell that the team who worked on this project have artistic tendencies that lean towards simplicity in broad form, but intricacy in details. The website says that they used laser sintered technology to produce this piece. From just googling the process, it seems to be an additive process that binds a material to create a form. I think the algorithm would probably tell the laser at what points to add pieces or bind them together.
