deskriptiv

deskriptiv is the generative design studio of Christoph Bader and Dominik Bidmon, who have worked together under the label since 2010 at the intersection of art, science and technology. Since 2014 their research has concentrated on additive manufacturing, expressed through generative-art projects where the process that produces a form matters more than the final object.

Both trained at the MIT Media Lab’s Mediated Matter Group: Bader completed its PhD in 2021 and is now a research scientist at Oxman in New York, while Bidmon graduated with an MSc in 2017 and works as a design and development engineer at You Mawo in Konstanz. Their projects include the Vespers series of 3D-printed masks, Rottlace for Björk, Wanderers, Mushtari, SimpSymm and collaborations with Nike on Flyknit and with the Wiener Symphoniker.
