Generative Designs by Deskriptiv

Since 2010, Christoph Bader and Dominik Kolb have been working together under the label "deskriptiv" that stands for generative design at the intersection of art, science, and technology.

Since 2014, we have been focusing on additive manufacturing research that is expressed through generative-art projects. Processes that produce shapes are a central theme of our work. To us, this is a switch from product-oriented thinking to a process-oriented way of working. This is often called procedural- or generative-art. As generative artists we are no longer just concerned about one particular outcome or the final artifact, rather we are focusing on the process that generates the final results. Designing such processes is a key part of our work.

We’ve seen these artists before: Christoph Bader & Dominik Kolb have “generative methods” as their motto, so it probably isn’t too surprising that I find their work more than a little relevant. I’m especially impressed by how their generator is able to output clean meshes via parametric modeling.
