Digital Grotesque

I have written about Michael Hansmeyer's extraordinary work with algorithm based design complexity here several times. This project shows the process of realizing an "occupiable" structure deriving from his research. The resulting construction really does push the eye's ability to digest formal information and density to its limit. The edges of what we can process with none of the tropes of needless maximalism. There is something really fascinating lurking here.
