From Edgar Wind, incarnation is seen as the place where empirical experience and metaphysical foundation meet in the single cognitive and experiential act. His philosophy of incarnation provides a broad basis for reflection on the relationship between technique and aesthetic thinking, considering that image plays a role in the artistic field comparable to the one the experiment plays in science. From this perspective, the technical tool is subject to the same laws that are intended to be tested and, the choice of the instrument, embodies an entire world system. extending this philosophy to explore the ways information can be encapsulated in data-sculptures generated from morphogenetic design strategies, and materialized via digital fabrication tools, it is presented a discussion on how these objects and the processes and tools involved in its production can subvert the objectiveness in the very idea of information visualization.
