Recursive Materiality, 2023

Commissioned by: Vancouver Art Gallery, Canada

Inspired by garment production's weaving and construction processes, Recursive Materiality instrumental-ize the role of responsive fabrication as a lens to materialise human-machine interactions.

Building on the Studio’s long term research work on biomaterials, this work investigates the strong connection between fabrication and materials, and poses questions about the future of human creativity within a hyper-generative system powered by machine intelligence.

The work also explores the decision-making processes in machine generative workflows, presenting opportunities for collaboration with robotics research labs and machine intelligence research.
