Giant sculpture, made of 420,000 balls ... robots
An amazing and at the same time ultra-modern conceptual sculpture titled “Geometric Death Frequency-141”, depicting a liquid splashing in an invisible rectangular parallelepiped measuring 6 by 15 meters, is of particular interest not only because it is assembled from 420,000 black balls, but also because that it is assembled by robots sticking these balls one by one!
Initially, the image of the sculpture was created in a package for 3D modeling by Frederick Diaz (Federico Díaz). To create the desired scene, Diaz used the physics engine to simulate fluid dynamics. Then he wrote a software that breaks the model into individual large “pixels” and calculates the coordinates of each of them in three-dimensional space.

The software didn’t do it here - Frederick designed his own “3D printer” with two robots capable of assembling a sculpture without human intervention and a special device controlling the glue feed.
The installation is being prepared for participation in the MASS MoCA event, which will be held on October 23 of this year and will be installed in the courtyard of the Massachusetts Museum of Modern Art.
From myself I want to add that the installation resembles the figure of a motorcycle made of wire, I wrote about it on Habré not so long ago. For some reason, I am glad that IT has such a great influence on contemporary art, progress is almost always good. :)
