I was focusing on similarity between anatomic and computer aesthetics. Resemblance between men made technical constructive beauty and bio-animalistic structures. Electric cables mutate into tree branches and roots or petrified veins and arteries. Foto credit: Lars Kaae

Here I included “BioCables ” in the exposition of  Museum of Precambrian geology and Archeology in Petrozavodsk (North Russia)

 

I wanted to integrate sculptures as smooth as possible into museum exposition.

On this location I could see that my idea about fossilized glass structures -works!.

Pieces very naturally take a place in the exposition row of 100000 year old minerals and geological maps.
