Zeitguised (?)

I'm still unsure as to exactly who this artist(s) is (are?).....but I found this awesome series online, and I'm also not quite sure how it was done.... I know digital photography and manipulation was involved.........anyway I'll just include the lil description and see if you can decipher it. The images are just really mesmerizing and ....meta

Material sample interpretations as simulations of macroscopically photographed nano-sculptures. The base for these enlarged tiny grown crystal structures are textile pattern, with two different levels of translation. One is the layer of color, where a scan of the textile is taken directly to color individual parts of the structure. The second layer is a translation of fabric weavings into three dimensional stacks of interlocked platonic bodies. Both layers are in an uneasy, off-set relation with each other. On a meta level, the simulation of photographed space seduces to imagine this setup as an existing material reality.






But yeah, very design-oriented stuff. It really gets crazy when you zoom way in on these puppies.

This one is pretty awesome too, based on dust particles.

  • Boolean Taxidermy
    Smart Dust: Shapes of Shapes
  • Intelligent particles, the size of dust grains, are programmed to fill nonexistent shapes (the mathematical problem of geometry packing). The "know" their relative position inside the imaginary form (i.e. distance from hull or center) and take on a color relative to it.
