Prompt: FROM PATTERNS AND FORMS TO PLACES AND PEOPLE The first theme, Natural Analogs, examines the simulation of naturally occurring shapes, sequences, and patterns with varying degrees of abstraction. ‘Here, nature’s aesthetic complexities, which conform to simple mathematical laws—the equations that generate patterns, cones, and pyramids, spirals and waves, and the topological rules of geometry—find new expressions in a digital age,’ explains the curator. Combining humans’ primal fascination with patterns and the wonders of computational technologies, Nervous System design studio lands at the Biophilia DAM exhibition with its undulating Floraform Chandelier inspired by the ruffled edges of flowers. The hanging light was developed with generative algorithms and fabricated using an additive 3D-printing process, casting a dense forest of shadows and enveloping the viewer in an environment of algorithmically grown plant forms.
