polymerase

design research - digital nature

Polymerase is a project in which the process of reproduction has been transformed into a digital context. The movement of the object was created through many interactions of transcribing and copying the 3D object, from geometry to image sequence, to volume, and back to geometry. Small errors in the process create the movement over time.
