VoltaDom by Skylar Tibbits

Skylar Tibbits is a trained Architect, Designer and Computer Scientist who's research currently focuses on developing self-assembly technologies for large-scale structures in our physical environment by embedding assembly instructions directly into our material parts.

VoltaDom is his latest proyect for MIT's 150th Anniversary Celebration & FAST Arts Festival (Festival of Arts, Science and Technology) - an installation that populates the corridor spanning building 56 & 66 on MIT’s campus. This installation lines the concrete and glass hallway with hundreds of vaults, reminiscent of the great vaulted ceilings of historic cathedrals. See more;

The vaults provide a thickened surface articulation and a spectrum of oculi that penetrate the hallway and surrounding area with views and light. VoltaDom attempts to expand the notion of the architectural “surface panel,” by intensifying the depth of a doubly-curved vaulted surface, while maintaining relative ease in assembly and fabrication. This is made possible by transforming complex curved vaults to developable strips, one that likens the assembly to that of simply rolling a strip of material.

Zander Blom

These pictures are part of the Zander Blom's Black Hole series. I like to see how Blom has edited the photographs following the perspective of the surfaces. You can see more of his abstract and chaotic work at Michael Stevenson Gallery. See more;

Anrend de Gruyter Helfer

Untitled (Files), 2010

I find really interesting the artistic profile of Anrend de Gruyter Helfer, all his works are based in a computer environment and net art. I made a selection of some of his works (recomended visit his site, Anrend has cool ideas). See more;

Untitled Window, 2008

I made a triangulate composition with Anrend's Untitled Window

Angle Gradient, cool piece made from wax and I think it was designed from the nice 3D tool of Photoshop.

Angle Gradient, 2010 - Machineable wax, 6"x6"x3"

TextEdit Textiles is a collaborative project by Aylor Brown and Arend deGruyter-Helfer. DeGruyter-Helfer used TextEdit, the default Macintosh text editor, to create digital pattern drawings, some encoded with personal wishes, and Brown used Photoshop and a computerized Jacquard loom to translate these drawings into cloth. The result is both a physical archive of the intangible and a dialogue between two friends on the materialization of desires.

Leanne Eisen

Leanne Eisen is an emerging photo based artist in Toronto, Canada. She studied photography at Ryerson University. Some of her works are based on scanner experiments, creating amazing textures like these.

"Scan began as a creative diversion, but has since become a full-on fixation. I find objects with an interesting combination of surface characteristics, and create compositions by moving them over my scanner bed . Much like darkroom experimentation using burning and dodging, or the placement of objects directly onto the photographic paper's surface to create photograms, each exposure represents a choreographed movement, a moment in time captured on a two-dimensional surface." See more;

"By using trial and error, I reintroduce the possibility of happy accidents into the sterile and precise process of digital imaging. I have worked my way through a collection of scannable curios, from paper grids and greyscales to lights and reflective materials. I am now focusing on CD's and DVD's, thereby introducing a digital storage medium back into the scanning process. Through this exercise, I've learned to exploit the limitations of my scanner, in order to introduce intentional glitches."

Bench Chair by Thomas Schnur

Bench Chair designed by Thomas Schnur. It was exhibited for the first time at Ambiente this year, in Frankfurt. Inspired from the well known Monoblock Chair. I think that we're used to seeing this kind of distortions in digital environments, but when we see an experiment like this built physically, its look is completely different, it's incredible! I usually love when the digital distortions are represented as physical objects. See more;
