The Macouno Entoforms are Cool Computerized Crafts
Jamie Danielle Munro — June 6, 2011 — Tech
The Macouno Entoforms are digital creations with their own programming DNA. If you are looking to nurture your own computerized critter, Entoforms will give you something to care for.
An Entoform is created on the computer by using coding to form individual DNA. After doing so, the creature then grows independently into a unique, computerized specimen. Macouno then takes these creatures and creates 3D prints that can be purchased as well as seen at the Affordable art fair in Amsterdam in the fall. For Macouno, artwork has taken a digital twist as part of the project is purely based on programming and then realized physically by himself. Either way, the Macouno Entoforms are one way to fuse art with the online world.
