Hybridizations (2021)
The exacerbated discussions arising from the pandemic about the boundaries between physical and digital spaces, as well as the emergence of radical positions advocating for the elimination of both, have led to exploring possible ways of relating or hybridizing the natural and the digital in a common ground. AI technologies, volumetric reconstruction of spaces, and digital modeling also allow for the development of new sensitivities around the biological.
Hybridizations is a process of building bridges between physical reality and the digital world aimed at generating hybrid environments, where what belongs to the physical world takes on a different type of existence allowed in the digital realm and is returned to the physical experience.
Using various types of leaves, a process of plant decellularization and volumetric reconstruction of digital patterns is carried out, which are subsequently inserted into a virtual space.
project process
Pigment removal through chemical processes (decellularization) to work with the internal structure of the leaf. The process of volumetric digital conversion is carried out using Rhinoceros + Grasshopper. Subsequently, the model is worked on in Blender.
Virtual space for hybrid objects
Virtual space constructed from reconstructed leaf models and other elements of the physical space using photogrammetry (3d scans).
