Dark Matter

Dark Matter takes its name from the speculative formational simulations of dark matter structures that are constructed to describe swarms of galaxies to dust and plasma. It is a cosmological construct that articulates new conceptions of our understanding of the universe.

Working through this inspirational thought construct, Minimaforms conceptualized a strategy to explore Sandhelden´s sand printing process and the complex structuring of time-based form through particle-based cellular growth structures.

Cells stimulated to interconnect through forces and internal accumulative rules create an iterative process to construct a prototype of the most basic of human-designed objects, a chair.

Minimaforms´ chair prototype is a moment in time that utilizes particle scaling and clustering to create a prototype that can iterate for structuring density and resolution based performance.

Info: Dark Matter was exhibited at Formnext (fair for 3D printing) in Frankfurt (Germany) in 2019. There it was selected as a finalist for the purmundus challenge.
