Bruce Sterling's idea of a "Spime" is a fascinating one, describing a future class of objects starting out and ending as pure data, but having a physical representation as part of their life(cycle). Key requirement for such new objects is a sophisticated fabrication technology of which we have seen the beginnings in recent years.

R&Sie(n) (FranÃ§ois Roche and StÃ©phanie Lavaux) are a Parisian architecture/art practise heavily focussing on generative design and fabbing processes to create real world instances of their designs.
