Limitations: Branching

 In the Limitations Project, certain embedded constraints of the natural world are communicated through technological and computational processes. The visualizations generated by custom software and inspired by organic systems, are returned back to the material from which they originated, creating a single artifact that references a process interpreted by the organic and technological simultaneously. In this case a modified branching algorithm is rendered in wood through CNC machining. The routed design is then filled with black powder and ignited.

Limitations: Breakdown

A process of decay is referenced through the deterioration of metal.
