Description
A 3D-printed cluster of rounded, close-packed 'bubble' forms by Filson & Rohrbacher — the bubbles generated as simulations in Cinema 4D, procedural motion-graphics software, then realized in fused-deposition print layers, whose concentric spiral tops record the printer's toolpaths; the underside carries the studio's handwritten test numbering. This is a prototype. 2024.
