Designing Seeds Exhibition.

After the Matt Pyke talk we decided to go and see the exhibition Designing Seeds by Universal everything in Sheffield.

"Designing Seeds makes the case that through the mechanism of design, scientific advances of the last decade have opened the way to unexpected visual pleasures.  We have now entered an age in which designers and architects are drawing their inspiration from hidden patterns in nature rather than from pretty leaves or snowflakes.  The results reveal a new approach to design and a new kind of beauty."

The exhibition itself was smaller than I'd expected, and we didn't get chance to see the installations on the window as it was too bright outside, however the work itself was really interesting to look it. It was an extension of some of the things he had shown us in his lecture. In particular I liked the lovebytes work with the individual
 monster characters. The title 'Designing Seeds' is derived from the bespoke digital design systems that are used to design the seed, this then independently develops into a suprise result everytime! I think how the i
nteraction and relationship of the work with the viewer is really successful. The work only presents itself to you if you make the your own presence in the room known.
