Geometric Death Frequency-141

Beginning on october 23, 2010, MASS MoCA in north adams massachusetts, will be showing frederico diaz’s
‘geometric death frequency—141’, a sculpture made from 420,000 black spheres made and assembled by
robotics. the final sculpture will measure 20 feet by 50 feet and sit in the courtyard of the museum. the installation
is precisely crafted from robotics, milling and assembling the entire sculpture sphere by sphere, completely void
of any human interaction. diaz developed this process for building on his own using CAD software and
manufacturing techniques along with pure data and algorithms based on particle physics. with this system each
sculpture is completely untouched by human hands from concept to materialization.
