Project Title Evolve Ring Silver
 
Project Description Evolve Ring Silver was designed by Michal Piasecki and Krystian Kwiecinski and commissioned by Fluid Forms.

Evolve ring brings evolution to the design world, not as a metaphor, but as a design tool. In design, aesthetics plays a crucial role, but the design has to be valid from a manufacturing stand point as well. This is why an algorithm used by Michal Piasecki and Krystian Kwiecinski is an amalgam of the GA from the art world and from the engineering world.
 
Project Tools/Methodology The phenotype was first developed in Rhino Grasshopper and Processing. After that a purpose built application enabling artificial selection in genetic algorithms was used to browse through potential solutions and select two versions, which were manufactured and offered for sale.

The positive forms are 3d printed in wax and this is used to create rubber molds for casting in silver.
