Vital heat
3D-printed organ shapes replicating the heart while diverging through alterations, fragments, and parts melting across the floor. The work transforms the circuit of veins and blood to the circuitry of a self-replicating machine as a closed system.
As described: “a bodiless heart which seems to keep pumping, only to generate dysfunctional copies of itself.”
The installation includes Cardiogenesis, a series of UV prints on Plexiglas arranged on shelves presenting multiple attempts at visually representing the heart, utilizing material transparency for layering and combinatory possibilities. The organ is turned into a digital-mechanical hybrid through software translation, heated polymer extrusion, and repetitive documentation of shape variations.
