Insertae Sedis

This project was started during the Funken Summer School 2023 and continued during my studies. Inspired by DNA Origami, which utilizes the same functionality, this sculpture investigates a body’s self- assembly to a stable arrangement. The sculpture’s body was modeled by a machine learning model that was trained on genes and images of body structure of organisms. The work invites speculation on evolution's development within an entanglement of DNA and new technologies, encouraging the imagination of the undefined taxa's characteristics and habitat.  I later developed a second hanging sculpture and a performance piece. Both are documented in videos below.
