Kyung Hwa –
Precedents:
- Light through crystals – Stardust crystallized sugar lamp – Won Joon Lee
- Fruit Battery Floor lamp – Jeehee Park – using electrolytes in fruits to conduct electricity for lighting – critique – waste of food
- Capri battery – Joseph Beuys – powerful statement
- Historical references – take inspiration
- Lygia Clark – connection with metal and body/collection of bodies
- Tracy Emin – Text art – led light art
Application?
Further exploration
- Relation with human body – experiment with wire, dance poses, connection between bodies – ladder, structure, organic, geometry, people, play, chain, space & body – Design as critical, playful, enjoyable
- Leaves – season specific – colour change – transience & transformation
- Postmodernism – eclectic combinations of objects and ideas, repurposed, sampled, upcycled objects
- Let go – take its course – objects made from letting go
Documentation
- Lab setup; further zoom in (filter)
- Labels for each experiment
Alkesh:
Fragile nature of electroplated plastic drawing – wearable – one time wear? can it be worn at all? explore relative connection with human body – Could it grow as you wear? Would you stay stationary whilst on? Would it break? Would it move and transform with movement? Connection – process – wearable – body
Explore what other found objects could be subjected to wear, patina – Street markets, portobello road
Precedents:
- ODD Matter – Electroplating along glass edges to join – use electroplating in different and unique ways – organic growth, 2 different pieces – connect slowly
Summer:
- Transformable wall – crystals grow – solutions in buckets
Francesca:
- Veneer/ply – lasercut design as absorbent
Ned’s Project: (Concept of erosion and wear)
Summer’s Project: (Bioplastic filament for 3D pen?)
