Résumé

This superbly illustrated volume explores the new site-specific sculpture by artist Federico Díaz created from 420,000 black spheres precisely milled and assembled by robotic machines, and entirely untouched by human hands. The spheres represent voxels (volumetric picture elements) which were in turn derived from a digital photograph of the museums entry courtyard using sophisticated software. These voxels were then subjected to fluid dynamic simulations, decomposing the original structure of the image and converting it into fragments. The digital files were then output to a computer-controlled robotic manufacturing device, which systematically assembled the 50-feet long by 20-feet high sculpture Geometric Death Frequency141 which now fills Massachusetts MoCAs entrance courtyard.
