The distinctive coloration of the piece was achieved through robotic circular knitting. A continuous gradient was converted into a stitch map to create the transition from pink to lilac to blue over 36 feet of fabric. This project is the first of its kind to utilize knitting in the production of a physical gradient of this size.
The Spline Sculpture is a truly digital work. From its AI origins to its use of robotic fabrication, this piece represents a new creative paradigm, one that directly translates abstract concepts into real material.
