Abstract

In this work the explorations carried out in the context of the art project «Extremófilos [«Extremophiles»], which aim is to produce a series of robotic sculptures, are presented. These explorations were divided into two stages: the first one is related to the digital design of the tridimensional shape of the sculpture, and the second one is linked to the production and the motorization of the sculpture. The topics presented in this work are related to the parametric design of tridimensional shapes, with the use of software tools, the implementation of rapid prototyping and the robotization strategies applied to art, along with potential junctions between generative art techniques and the development occurred during this project.
