Mk3 Postal Project by Tim Knowles

The ‘Mk3 Postal Project’ by Tim Knowles is actually quite simple. He shipped a parcel from London to Dublin, containing a pen and cardboard. The pen could move freely in a 2D plane throughout its journey and leave a trace on the piece of cardboard. He also did similar project with trees and cars.

Spinal Rhythms

Spinal Rhythms by Eva Schindling

Spinal Rhythms‘ is the thesis project of Eva Schindling. The subtitle is ‘Autonomous Embodied Evolution of a Biomimetic Robot’s Rhythmic Motion Behavior’, I’ve read it a few times and I’m still puzzled. It’s all about the physical movement of a stick-creature and its fitness. She didn’t use any electric motor to move the limbs but elastic shape memory alloy springs. Those contract when heated with electic current and expand when the cooldown, an Arduino board controls the whole system (an open source physical computing platform). It is of course very conceptual but maybe the video will clear up a few things.

Post-cuby by Oscar and Ewan

Oscar and Ewan is a small graphic design studio in London. They were asked to participate in the Polygon Show and were given a 3D shape to respond to, a cube. They decided not to show a cube, but to remove it from a small furniture setup.

It is hard to say if Roy McMakin is an artist or a furniture designer. I really like how he plays with positive and negative space to combine different objects.
