Infusing Art with Technology

Blooms are animated sculptures by Stanford professor John Edmark. They are 3D printed pieces that are animated when they are illuminated by strobe lights. This makes these solid sculptures appear soft and alive. The pieces explore growth in nature using progressive rotations of ϕ and Fibonacci. John Edmark’s work explores growth in nature, from pinecones

Exercise 5

Iridescence is a 3D printed collar that responds to the movement and emotions of those around the wearer. The project was commissioned by the Museum of Science and Industry Chicago for the exhibit “Wired to Wear.” It explores how our clothing become a nonverbal form of communication through changes in texture and color.

Exercise 5: Art and Design Inspirations

The French artist Michel Blazy had a few installations using foam. These installations have foam oozing out of bins, or some tall and large structures. Audience can interact with the installation by touching the foam. Creating foam uses simply everyday materials, and the shape of the foams is indeterministic yet expected. There is only control
