Hello everyone! My name is Elektra Caffrey, and I am in the first year of my master\u2019s in computer science. I have always been artistic and wanted to explore more of where computation and art come together. I have never 3D printed before but have wanted to learn for a long time. This class caught my eye during my undergraduate degree (also CS at UNM) but for one reason or another I was unable to take it until now. I am excited to get to know everyone and see what you come up with!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The project I chose is called Silk Pavilion II. It was developed by Neri Oxman and her research team and showcased at the MoMA in 2020. The project used 17,532 silkworms to weave silk on a prefabricated kinetic jig. The structure was designed to guide the silkworms\u2019 spinning process. They utilized simulations along with physical tests to explore the impact of light, heat, and gravity on the quality of silk and its distribution patterns. I thought it was an impressive example of an interdisciplinary mesh of computational design with biology. Here is a link to Oxman\u2019s website that shows more about her work on this project: https:\/\/oxman.com\/projects\/silk-pavilion-ii<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n
