Made from 75,000 interconnected cable zip-ties, Branching Morphogenesis simulates the predicted network generated by human lung cells as they interact with an extracellular matrix in three-dimensional space and time. Designed by Jenny Sabin, this installation allows visitors to walk through a giant three-dimensional “datascape,” encapsulating the way in which human endothelial cells interact with their surrounding extracellular matrix, a type of connective tissue.
