Homonovus

Homonovus investigates how digital tools can reshape the idea of the human body by blending it with non-human characteristics. This series of sculptures questions the stability of biological identity in a digital age, presenting a “New Man” that exists between the organic and the synthetic.

To translate this speculative evolution into physical form, I developed a hybrid workflow. Using high-resolution 3D scans of five subjects, I manually layered animal textures onto reduced low-poly meshes. I then utilized a computational process to ‘unfold’ these complex forms into printable patterns. The resulting objects: hollow, laser-cut, and hand-assembled, stand as fragile artifacts of a digital metamorphosis.

process:
01
3D Scanning
& polygon reduction
I began by 3D scanning 5 human subjects to capture anatomical detail. The scans were then simplified through polygon reduction.
02
Texture Mapping
& Hybridization
I digitally sculpted the surface identity, manually mapping complex animal textures onto the human mesh. This allowed me to curate the fusion of the two species with precision.
03
code
& Puzzleworks
The models are further refined and manipulated through custom code I developed, generating intricate, puzzle-like segments that can be reassembled into cohesive hybrid figures. These digital components are then reconstructed into complete hybrid characters.
