Who care about plastic 3-D - printedmodels of your headwhen an awe-inspiring , ornate way is being 3D printed out of sandstone?Digital Grotesque , as the projection is call , look like it was ripped from the frames of a sci - fi film .
DesignersBenjamin DillenburgerandMichael Hansmeyerrecently previewed a 1:3 scale model of the way atMaterializing Exhibitionin Tokyo , and before that at theSwiss Art Awardsin Basel , Switzerland . The entire way will be unveiled on July 22 .
The oddly - detailed elbow room looks like a mark between an exotic pinched system and a cathedral on another planet . Which makes sense , because it ’s being created using an algorithm that disunite and repeats forms see in the work of Swiss surrealist artistH.R. Gigerto create wild pattern . For a little background signal , Giger win an Oscar for his work on the visual effects squad of the movie Alien . This is what Dillenburger and Hansmeyer had to see about the piece :
Inspired by the natural process of cubicle division , we rise an algorithm that iteratively divides and translate the initial geometry of a simple cube . Despite bare rules , a complex world of form turn out at multiple scale : between decoration and social organisation , between order and topsy-turvydom , foreign and yet familiar : a digital grotesque .
Check out some picture of the process below , but otherwise you ’ll have to wait another month to see the whole thing . Sigourney Weaver foreign baby not included . [ Creators Project ]
