Generative Jigsaw Puzzles – Nervous System toys with a classic enigma

Author Alexander ScholzCategory Cinder Featured Members Objects ProcessingPosted on: People

Nervous System's trademark portfolio of generative cups, lamps and jewlery has 'grown' an unlikely new product: jigsaw puzzles. Expanding the radius of an immaculate practise isn't easy, yet partners Jessica Rosenkrantz and Jesse Louis-Rosenberg have produced a perfect fit: Generative Jigsaw Puzzles – surprisingly colourful thanks to the work of featured artist Jonathan McCabe – trace the same interest in natural patterns, unconventional geometries and computational systems that has inspired many of the duo's fantastic fabrications. And like the other items available in their shop, each puzzle – down to the art and individual pieces – is a one of a kind creation, rendered from custom software and a studio toolchain in Somerville, MA (US).

Sleep Like Mountains – (Re-)discovering bodies in landscapes

reated by Lotta Stöver, “Sleep Like Mountains” enacts a process of digital embedding and embodying. The installation measures the topography of a human body and compares it to geodata sets of Earth, searching for a most similar location, where the topography of the human body and Earth elevate and digitally situate in similar ways.

Synthetic Pollenizer – Robotic interventions in the real-world ecological systems

Created by Michael Candy, “Synthetic Pollenizer” is a conceptual intervention in real-world ecological systems using artificial flowers. Inspired by natural pollenizers, these robotic replicas artificially pollinate bees, integrating into the reproductive cycle of local flora; an initiative into a cybernetic ecology.

Genesis of a Microbial Skin – Beehives designed for urban environments

Created by AnneMarie Maes, Genesis of a Microbial Skin is a mixed media installations and a research project exploring the idea of Intelligent Beehives with a focus on smart materials, in particular microbial skin. The project is about predominantly growing Intelligent Guerilla Beehives from scratch, with living materials – just as nature does.
