Thanks for this Vladimir.
It is a quite interesting project, indeed.
I certainly look forward to seeing it in May.
I am also curious as to why you have chosen to look into, or define,
these works through the notion of "hazard"?
Also curious if there is any connection to Rene Thom's catastrophe
theory?
Cheers,
Melentie

Dear Friends,
if you are in Singapore, you are welcome to visit Synthazards, a new
project by Syntfarm.
it is on display from 18 Feb to 19 May 2009 at: Lasalle Building 1
McNally Street, Singapore.

Synthazards are replicas of natural hazards. They are manufactured by
using various rapid prototyping techniques, laser cutouts, and
algorithms. In this project, Syntfarm are fabricating the following:
earthquake, drought, whirlpool, lightning, volcano, tsunami, tornado
and lava. The objects are celebrating mostly formal aspects of these
phenomena. What is apparent in fabrications is a unique synthetic
form, which is given-by algorithms and inscribed in the language of
prototyping machines. Hosted by ICAS, the Institute of Contemporary
Arts Singapore.
best,
