my trashcan is made out of recycled material, the artist model was Robert Rauschenberg, who makes sculptures out of found objects,. questioning the value of trash..
KINETIC SCULPTURE:
the nature of the material- wire means that the trashcan can be easily manipulated by anyone and people can choose to place their trash( sketches and design ideas) wherever they like. ( by doing this, people interact with the trashcan more).
when rubbish is put into the trashcan, the rubbish becomes part of the sculpture.they can be placed anywhere in the studio tied on a string, so people can take it off and put it anywhere.
form and shape:
sphere shape reminds people of the structure of human brain, but more importantly, the reason why i made it this shape was because everything else in the studio is on a 90 degree angle. i wanted to make my trashcan stand out.
the organic form and shape contrasts with the industrial material and colour, which again makes people ask question about what the design really is.
the twisting of wire expresses gestural and unconscious qualities, it also expresses the randomness and unpredictablity of mental activities in brains, which indicates a variety of ideas of architecture students who are brave and creative. This is like a the centre of a great chaos, and all the creations were formed from the chaos.
Since the group you are in has to be dealing with the laser cut technology in crafting the model. What sets this piece different from the fellows is that the technology has been cleverly applied on the process instead of sticking the pieces onto the actual model. This sort of inspires students of the creative usage of this modern technology.
ReplyDeleteI liked this project, in that you managed to translate your idea quite well. You described to me that you wanted to create an organic shape/construction which was obvious in the irregularity of the shape, but you also wanted to contradict it with the use of man made materials which was the wire that you used.
ReplyDeleteI think you could have looked further into storing the 'notes' or 'ideas' in a more secure way, just in order to store them safely without them falling out. You may have been able to look into using the laser cutter for this somehow? As there is much more that you can do with the laser cutter than cutting circles.
Your presentation was also very tidy and clear
and I was able to see your idea immediately.

I like your idea of chaos. It is intense and full of craziness. It reminded me of the creation of the earth in Bible and many other methologies, the core seems to release a giant amount of creativity and possibility that inspires students and their design.
