Necto

Necto explores the theme of Intelligens through an immersive, innovative, and both computationally derived yet intuitively driven membrane structure that speculates on the future of temporary structures—lightweight, flexible and sustainable, and embedded with latent intelligence. Luminous threads seamlessly integrated within the textile follow selected stress pathways, forming a constellation of light and spatialized sound. Immersive animations dance across the membrane, transforming the structure temporarily into different environments, only to disappear entirely in the next moment again. The generative light and sound animations embrace lightness, exploring the expressive possibilities of a very minimal visual and sonic palette. Each atmosphere playfully speculates on the tensions between craft and algorithm, nature and technology, emergent process and design intent.

Necto is a collaboration between TheGreenEyl, Mariana Popescu and SO-IL.
