RE:RENDERING BEAUX ARTS
Medium & TechniqueLos Angeles, California
Type: Sculpture
Robin Evans’ investigation of translational techniques in The Projective Cast helped produce a knowledge around forms of representation that move between drawing/image and building. Stereotomical drawings were one example which suggested new formal possibilities through an investigation of medium and technique. Today, architects work with a restricted repoitoire of products available on the market, whose experimentation is further limmited by building information modeling. The development of the flat-bed printing as a contemporary building technology, and image based workflows that utilize neural network algorithms suggest possibilities to advance material exploration, in the production of tectonic systems that are instrumental to legibility of material effects. Style Neural Network Transfer algorithms produce new layered, image based materialities, flat-bed printing produces new graphic cosmetics by directly printing onto material substrates.
