For the exercise this week, I was inspired by two of the works completed by Nori Oxman and her team – Silk Pavilion, and Totems. I initially started by focusing on bees, and tried to bring it back to the prompt several times, but the results felt a bit lacklustre. The movement that can be found within the 3D printed chambers in Totems is something I find captivating so I chose to focus on it next, and thus tried to generate art that would have this at the core of their silhouette by making sure all my searches included key phrases that would trigger this (dynamic, liquid, liquid falling, ink, Splatoon). I also made sure they were in the style of 3d models, as that was the general aesthetic that would be seen when an architectural project is planned on a computer.
To bring it back to an interconnected organic-based pattern that is prevalent in Oxman’s works I played around with DNA patterns, Bees, and Bubbles for a bit, before running it with silkworms since that is a secondary theme of the assignment.
