Data Morph

PROGRAM: Physical Data Encryption System
PROFESSOR: Alphonso Peluso
COURSE: Generative Design and Prototyping
TEAM: Ali H, Erez K, & Waleed E
TOOLS: Grasshopper, C# Programming, 3D Printing, Illustrator, Blender

The Data Morph project is a semester-long exploration of using computational design and 3D printing to create a set of products and objects that are encrypted with textual data into their physical form. The research investigates how a system for encrypting physical objects with data can be achieved and how it can be useful, practical and desirable in a number of different applications.

Through this research, our primary goal is to advance a new method for communicating information through a physical object’s form. This information encrypted within the object will be a combination of sensitive data being protected and generative factors for the creation of form. By creating this new system for encrypting data, we are imagining a world where the form of a number of ordinary products become integral hosts for information.
