Nervous System

Along the lines of Brigid's post, here's a design duo that creates jewelry from computer algorithms, and also provides applets of their program to allow the customer to generate their own designs. They write the programs, generate the designs, and print them using SLS (selective laser sintering). They're really beautiful, and each piece is entirely unique thanks to the generative program.

"To evolve such forms, we systematically engage in generative processes. Instead of designing a specific form, we craft a system whose result is a myriad of distinct creations. These systems are interactive, responding both to changes in specific variables and to physical inputs. There is no definitive, final product, instead the many designs created allow for mass customization."
