Corollaria Gyroid is a sculpture we created for the Albany Airport which explores the connections between mathematics and the natural world, highlighting the presence of mathematical principles in biological structures. blog: https://n-e-r-v-o-u-s.com/blog/?p=9386

• 15 h The design is generated via a computational system we created which breaks a surface into flat puzzle piece panels that can be assembled without any forming, jigs or instructions into a complex shape ALT GIF
• 15 h The sculpture will be on display at the ALB airport for the next 3 years. We are so excited to have our work on display at our local airport and also to have been able to realize ideas we’ve been working on in metal

  @nervous_jessica So awesome! Have you all ever tried a similar shape, horizontal, as a chandelier-like ceiling fixture?
• 14 h Luis Villa @luis_in_brief@social.coop
  @nervous_jessica I’ve long (1) been a fan of your work and (2) wondered how to get a modern chandelier that would honor this ceiling fixture without overwhelming it, and now I’m wondering if a radiolaria-like piece would do the trick…

  @nervous_jessica Oh, I misinterpreted the orientation of some stuff from the blog. This is exactly what I want (smaller!) as a chandelier. (dreams)

  @nervous_jessica Bravo! Art inspired by nature is frequently my favorite kind of #art. Mother Nature is the ultimate #artist. @cobalt

  @nervous_jessica Bonjour,
  j'ai le sentiment que cette sculpture illustrerait bien les plaines et les déliés d'une médiation complexe comme celle nécessaire dans la médiation de l'urgence qui intègre urgence climatique, écologique, politique, etc.
  Nous autoriseriez-vous à utiliser cette photo ou bien cet emblême ?
  Merci pour votre réponse.
