“Jean-Luc Moulène: More or Less Bone”

What do you get when you combine a sphere, a spiral staircase and a knucklebone? Something like the skull of antediluvian crocodile according to French artist Jean-Luc Moulène, who devised this fiberglass sculpture with the help of aerospace engineers and a fancy algorithm that processes the “most efficient, least wasteful solution given a set of discrete variables” to create an optimized whole. The skeletonized appearance of the results here suggests that if there is an ultimate optimizing solution to any problem, it can probably be found in the grave.
