GeneratorX
Has some absolutely kickin' examples of digital code (well, it's visual manifestation anyway...) being made tangible. One that stuck out for me was the corian skin created by Studio Commonwealth:
What I can make of it, Commonwealth have developed the skin as a single plane and created the protrusions by pushing out points of the skin. This makes those particular points thinner and therefore allows more light to pass through those points. Imagine flattening a piece of bubblegum and stretching out specific points of that plane.
They achieved this using corian (as stated); a form of resin. Resintastic.
Generator X is an exhibition/conference involved with software/digital generation in art and design. It seems like it's based in Norway and started in 2005 with a few iterations occurring afterwards, the latest in 2008.
