Digital Grotesque 數位洞穴（註：Grotesque《源自義大利語＂洞穴(的畫)＂的意思；指常出現在洞穴中以怪獸為題材的畫》）是第一次完全身臨其境、 實體的、 人體尺度的封閉結構，完全是以 3D 列印的技術所生成。這個結構的測量面積為16 平方米，（向量的世界裡，參數是可以不停細化直到逼近硬體的極限）這作品的細部是以人類可以感知的範圍，作為精細度的標準。這樣結構的每一個面，都是由自訂設計的演算法所演算而成。

數位洞穴這個專案，是由瑞士蘇黎世聯邦理工學院（ETH-Zurich）的電腦輔助建築設計（CAAD）研究小組所發展。其中所有的構件都是由 voxeljet AG 所列印生產。數位洞穴的第一個區塊將會由FRAC中心為其永久收藏。
Digital Grotesque is the first fully immersive, solid, human-scale, enclosed structure that is entirely 3D printed out of sand. This structure, measuring 16 square meters, is materialized with details at the threshold of human perception. Every aspect of this architecture is composed by custom-designed algorithms. Please visit digital-grotesque.com for a further description. Research for the Digital Grotesque project was carried out at the Chair for CAAD at the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology (ETH) in Zurich. All components were printed by voxeljet AG. The first part of Digital Grotesque is a commission by FRAC Centre for its permanent collection.
