. MGX by materialise has collaborated with arik levy to create ‘osmosis’an exhibition based on the concept of crystal. it will be on display at the swarovski crystal palace during milan design week 09.

‘with the natural process of crystallizing as a metaphoric base, and wanting to create formations that integrated the chaton crystal cut, working with .MGX and 3D printing was evident. only this technology permits the exploitation and visualization of these genetically modified sculpture formations. .MGX is my constant technology partner and it is this collaboration that allowed me to transform my ideas into reality’, explains levy.

‘crystal fusion’ by arik levy produced by . MGX by materialise image courtesy ldesign, arik levy‘osmosis through the membrane of experiencing the transition from real to virtual, from solid to a metaphor, visual and emotional perception transforms.

the osmosis from the urban landscape in to the installation space opens up a journey to the micro, macro expression of architectural products and techno-craft existence.

I keep on travelling between technology and art, design and reflection, engineering and light…swarovski master cutter daily environment and magic. searching for the exchange platform to experiment, explore and revile boundaries of both stone cutting metaphor as well as the semi permeable bridge to my own work.

going from the sculpture to space, environmental landscape and tangible product this body of work brings out a bio-mimicry of osmosis.’
