Made in 2009, this is a 45foot wall commissioned by the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art. It is part of a series P_Wall (started in 2006). It is "an evolution of the earlier work exploring the self-organisation of material under force." From design studio Matsys, established by Andrew Kudless in 2004.
How its done: plaster. Its a wall of plaster. They used lycra and dowel rods to get this undulating effect. Pretty interesting to listen to the artist.
Greg Lynn is the next guy who does cool stuff with FORM!
Yeah. He has been working on this stuff for years, and you can see why. I think the series started production...could be wrong. Probably wrong. From his site here: http://glform.com/ you can find his expansive array of works. The blobby walls are "an interior product designed for Panelite using a reinvented hollow plastic rotomolded brick that is custom cut by Computer Numerically Controlled robot arm, assembled and heat welded into freestanding walls and enclosures."
Now you've got that image in your head, add random expansions, bigger orbs, pulsing light and/or vibration. And ignore the plastic. Think bean bags. Bean Bags. That is a better analogy than frogs eggs. Why didn't that occur to me earlier.
And a last image to imprint into your brain...or heart.
BOOM! A ceramic heart light "Cuore Sacro" (Sacred Heart) designed by Tania da Cruz (awesome name). Apparently it is inspired by the representation of the heart in Christian iconography.
You can find her site here: taniadacruz. Its a pretty cool site.
Now, I'm off to do some sketching and computer modelling. Though, honestly, it probably isnt going to go very far tonight.
Happy Good Friday!
