Generator X 2.0: Beyond the Screen.

Marius Watz’s ambitions project Generator X containing exhibitions, workshops and presentations regarding computational art and generative design hits version 2.0 and goes ‘beyond the screen’ in Berlin. Generator X 2.0 is a production in collaboration with Club Transmediale and DAM, both organisations with strong allegiances to electronic and computational art. After the Success of 1.0 this new exhibition will concentrate on the process of Digital Fabrication, allowing for computational artists to produce tangible visualisations of their work.

‘Digital fabrication (also known as “fabbing”) represents the next step in the digital revolution. After years of virtualisation, with machines and atoms being replaced by bits and software, we are coming full circle. For artists and designers working with generative systems, digital fabrication opens the door to a range of new expressions beyond the limits of virtual space.’

The opening night happened on Thursday, but there is a feast of great work, presentations and performances in the coming days by well-know artists in the field, many of which have been featured on these pages before.
