This project investigates in a computational method of changing the natural property of a found rock. The aim was to make a reproduced, yet visually-identical, rock to stand on a different surface, not following its inherent weight. After 3D scanning the found rock, one of the smallest coplanar surfaces on the rock was identified. Using an evolutionary approach, the center mass was modified with the insertion of an extra volume inside the rock.
