Parametric wall in Grasshopper
This video explores the parametric modifications of a smart wall defined in Grasshopper. Through changing parameter values in sliders, we can change the shape and the behaviour of the object. In this case of study the green sphere is considered as an attractor that modifies the shape of the wall and the pattern/radius of the holes. We can regulate the opacity/permeability of the wall in order to preserve privacy or achieve trasparency in local areas of the wall. Let's replace in our imagination the green ball with a sofa. The wall could wrap a little bit around it, and moreover it could close its holes in proximity of the couch and open them in surrounding areas, in order to let light pass through without affecting the privacy of the "sofa area".

Anthropomorphic in Action
One of the faces made at TecnoTown in Rome. The machine in question is an anthromorphic cnc with six axes. Was very funny to see in action this little beast which cost about 20.000euros!
First We did a 3D scan of our faces and then We moved to the CNC that worked on a polystyrene brick sized 25cmX19cmX10cm.

....In this case Monika Wittig has put the face :)
