I was tasked with materialising Yoram Roth's artistic vision to merge photography, sculpture, modern design, and manufacturing technologies such as computational design and additive manufacturing. The creative direction was inspired by the work of Italian 1960s avant-garde "Spatialists" such as Lucio Fontana, Agostino Bonalumi, and Enrico Castellani.
Building on the artist’s previous work, Spatial Concepts emerged from his investigations into what happens to surfaces when light lands on ridges and openings and his aim to create spaces beyond the typical flat piece of art on the wall.
The Process
Yoram Roth (the artist) set the tone and creative vision for project.
I used rhino and grasshpper to parametrically create set elements.
Used subtractive manufacturing to produce set elements.
Yoram took the decisive shots which would be the centerpieces for each individual art work.
I wrote a parametric algorithm for each piece to deform, align and extrude 2D to production-ready 3D geometry.
The pieces were fabricated in Corian and PU foam by a 5-axis Kuka robot.
