“Growing Objects” is a series of kinetic sculptures that illustrate natural growth processes. Inspired by 19th century zoetropes, these interactive sculptures consist of 3D printed objects that when spun and illuminated animate the development of complex forms; when still, they allow the viewer to examine each step of the growth process. Each one depicts one of our generative design systems which grow form based on a natural process. 1 - hyphae based on how vein networks form in leaves. 2 - laplacian based on how branching crystals grow by dendritic solidification 3 - reaction based on reaction-diffusion, a chemical signalling process that can explain the emergence of dot and stripes patterns on the skins and shells of animals 4 - morphostem based on how differential surface growth shapes the blooming of flowers and ruffling of leaves More info: n-e-r-v-o-u-s/blog/?p=5992
