foldingfilms

looking at ways to discover and then communicate how the folded pieces function in the hand - short films appear to be the answer at the moment. these are a series of pieces from my 'folded paper archive' which best explore some of the language created for this project.

squeeze fold bend and expand - Structural Memory in Deformable Objects is a Project organised in collaboration with the Crafts Council and Kings College London.

The project examines soft robotics using visual thinking to problem solve. We are specifically developing the idea of change and adaption without compromising functionality, exploring the idea that a form takes the shape A; it becomes B and has the ability to return to A.

Through lateral thinking we are developing a unique way of exploration, extending knowledge around current soft robotics through model making. Setting out to challenge and expand our practices by exploring ways of controlling movement and articulation of objects in order to build new structures whose functionality and manipulation will be framed and enriched by knowledge of soft robotics.
