Last blog post of the semester!
Here are some project highlights (from my
Algorithmic and Parametric Object Design class at
Alberta University of the Arts).
Recap
1) My First Definition
2) 2D Parametric Design
 |
| Definition development. |
 |
| Design in Rhino before laser cut. |
 |
| Acrylic laser cut sample. I spray painted the orange before peeling off the plastic. |
3) Parametric Vessel
 |
| Experiments with coloured slip in plaster mold. |
 |
| HD render of design in Rhino. |
 |
| 3D printed forms. |
 |
| First castings (raw/unaltered). |
 |
| Altered castings. |
4) Algorithmic Deposition Modelling
My group members were Keven, Nicole, Brielle, and Sarah. During the first week of the project, we talked about our personal practices and ideas for individual samples. See chart below:
 |
| Micah Lexier, "Although these may look like Sol Lewitt sculptures they are in fact instructional diagrams from a set of children’s building blocks. Pointing out the visual relationships between images from conceptual and minimal art and those used in teaching tools, cognitive tests, etc. is at the root of my Instagram feed," 2019. |
 |
| Prototype in Rhino. |
 |
| Yeah! |
 |
| Further idea generation for collab project. |
 |
| Puzzle pieces. |
 |
| I researched interlocking/tessellating/geometric patterns and delivered images to group. |
 |
| Sarah referenced the pattern images to design the trays. |
 |
| When she completed the models (above), Sarah emailed the Rhino file to me and Nicole (to work on toolpaths and HD renders). |
 |
| Nicole's HD renders! |
5) Algorithmic Surface Modelling + Animation
 |
| Meret Oppenheim, Object, 1936. |
 |
| HD render in Rhino. |
