The site had no language translation, therefore I was frustrated. It gave the obvious appearance of a computer generated image, but I was still hoping it was then translated into a sculpture (acrylic, resin, polymer, plastic, etc.). He creates interesting variation and incessant change with his use of angles and although an exceptional depiction of complex images, I was not drawn into the work.

Sauermann uses a computer and mathematical equations to design each structure and a 3D printer to create the final object. I believe the material is a plastic.

Too mathematical for my poetic taste. I can't imagine anyone capable of 'making' these, so I like Bett's comment, that they are virtual. Do you know; will you tell us?

Do you know; will you tell us?

More of those too on other pages. But what Math principle are the balls and pieced square blocks examples of?
