Info about the documentation video

1_
i explored the behaviour of a 3D printer and its filament (developing my own software in the process) to create a new kind of sculpture, native to the medium.

2_
behaviours discovered:
1. surfaces can be continuous or chaotic
2. lines can be rigid or organic
3. filament can be closely controlled or let free to find its own form

3_
construction methodologies:
1. “strings and blobs”
2. letting filament pile up on itself
3. under-constrained wall-building
4. natural collapse

4_ outcome
series of sculptures are discovered by exploring the parameter space of a base model

Text about the Filament Scultptures

Filament Sculptures emerged from an exploration of 3D printer behavior and filament, resulting in a new form of sculpture that is native to the medium. Unlike in typical 3D printing, where the filament is always held tightly under control, LIA permitted the filament to flow where it wanted to go within parameters that she defined, exploring the dynamic interplay between controlled hierarchical construction and free-form self-organisation. The resulting objects have surfaces that range from smooth to chaotic, and lines that shift from rigid to organic. Employing methods such as “strings and blobs,” under-constrained wall-building, and natural collapse, LIA created a series of sculptures exploring what is revealed as a vast parameter space. The project, which earned an Honorable Mention at the Share Prize in Torino, Italy, has been widely exhibited, including key showcases at the NAU Art Museum in Arizona (2016) and Viennafair (2015).

Info (German): SERENDIPITÄT. Kunst zwischen Programm und Zufall

„Der Zufall ist komplizierter als jedes andere philosophische, semantische und mathematische Konzept. Er vermittelt keine Gewissheit und bietet eine unendliche Quelle an Freiheit.“ Zdeněk Sýkora

Serendipität bezeichnet eine zufällige Beobachtung, die Idee einer nicht zielgerichteten Suchbewegung, die zu überraschenden Entdeckungen führt. Dieses Prinzip kam zur Geltung, als Künstler in den 1960er-Jahren mit Programmen und anderen innovativen technischen Möglichkeiten experimentierten und, beispielsweise durch die Verwendung von Algorithmen, neue Bild-erfindungen bewerkstelligten. Bestimmend für den künstlerischen Prozess war der Einsatz von rationalen Steuerungssystemen bei gleichzeitiger Nicht-Kalkulierbarkeit der Resultate. Die Schau SERENDIPITÄT. Kunst zwischen Programm und Zufall mit österreichischer Schwerpunktsetzung versammelt zum ersten Mal ausgewählte Pioniere der Computerkunst wie Marc Adrian, Otto Beckmann, Herbert W. Franke, Kurt Ingerl und Zdeněk Sýkora und stellt sie herausragenden Positionen wie Peter Kogler und Gerwald Rockenschaub, die in den 1980er-Jahre die Beginne einer Kunst mit neuen Medien markierten, und Station Rose, die 1988 als öffentliches Multimedialabor gegründet wurde, gegenüber. Jüngere KünstlerInnen wie Tina Frank, Manuel Knapp und LIA ergänzen den Generationen übergreifenden Ansatz der Ausstellung und zeigen wie viele andere auch, dass die Vermischung von analog und digital, die Arbeit mit Computern, Internet und Software längst zu einem künstlerischen Selbstverständnis geworden ist, das unsere Gegenwart prägt. Die Schau will auf die Ursprünge einer aktuellen Ästhetik aufmerksam machen, die den Weg zurück in die Unmittelbarkeit sucht.

REPOST from @bitforms: On the occasion of bitform REPOST from @bitforms:

On the occasion of bitforms gallery’s 20th anniversary, we are pleased to present “A Generative Movement” in San Francisco @minnesotastreetproject. Join us for the opening on October 2, from 2–7 PM.

The exhibition, showcasing generative artwork from @refikanadol @studiodanielcanogar @liasomething @lozanohemmer @manfredemohr @reas @nihil_diamond and @squirrelzurkow celebrates artistic vision through computational innovation with works spanning from 1971–2021. Although algorithmic in part, exhibited works are a human exploration of process—each piece is guided by unique parameters to construct a desired outcome. “A Generative Movement” manifests generative software’s ability to act as an artistic tool with evolving outputs. 

October 2, 2–7 PM. Masks required. 

We’re excited to share Rafael Lozano-Hemmer will be present from 5–7 PM to discuss his work and exhibition @sfmoma.
