BREATHING ARCHITECTURE II
Continuing on the work of the Breathing Architecture project, this collection of sculptural objects marks a milestone in the research of Filippo Nassetti, climax of a chapter centred on exploring new ways to represent human anatomy through the lenses of digital technologies.
The 3D printed pieces materialise scientific data on airflow within microscopic breathing architectures – specifically, the alveolar tissue in the lungs, where oxygen is transferred to cells. Each filament, 1.6mm thick, traces the path of an air particle, moving in the depths of a breath.
It is a digital artwork that explores the expressive potential of scientific data and contemporary manufacturing techniques. By rendering otherwise invisible patterns visible and tangible, the pieces offer new ways of perceiving the human body and its biological architectures.
