THE CONCEPT

Image ONE (the moment I knew what I wanted to do)

Walt disney concert hall hdri by dilznacka.jpg

The Walt Disney concert hall - Frank Gehry - 2003
I love to make sculptures but Frank Gehry has inspired me to choose for Spatial instead of Autonomous because he make sculptural buildings with a lot of movement and energy in it. Truly fascinating in my eyes.

Image TWO (my background)

My creative background has deep roots by the flower parade from Zundert(biggest dahlia corso in the world) I have build the floats for over 9 years but since last year I am a designer of one of the twenty floats. Here you see the maquete for this year and the full scale float from last year.

Image THREE (topic of interest)

The moment I.jpg Ora-ito-reebok.jpg
The coral landscape and the movement of them have brought my by Ora Ito he inspired his wallpaper on the sole of Reebok sneakers. He loved the way the sole bends and creates a moving landscape. He has tried to capture that movement in one piece of special acrylic. This quarter I want to actually let the wallpaper move.

MAKING A MOLD (for the membrane)

I have chosen to make a coral landscape instead of the wallpaper of Ora Ito because I think the corals have an even nicer and a more various landscape than Ora's wallpaper.

TESTING

I have first tested a technical option out of knex. In the movie you see a membrane out of elastic fabric.

The mechanics of the test. I was very glad with the visual outccome of this test. But I thought that it also could work in another way. Because the latex membrane had a lot of projections so the wheels wont ride smooth over the membrane.

Test 1: Membrane of high elastic fabric https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=md2VDZHLkGw&feature=youtu.be '

FINAL IDEA

By this principe the membrane is pushed from below so the mehanics won't stuck in the membrane. This principe would be 12x repeated.

FINAL PRODUCT

Moving landscapes is an project inspired on the natural movement of landscapes and industrialisation. Both combined result in an fun piece for at exhibitions or as an art piece in your own house. Landscapes and technique have one thing in common, they are constant changing. So my machine is also never the same, the crankshafts are constant moving (and they can be set in another position so the work changes). The landscape on top is also never for the eye the same. Because the movements move to fast for our eyes to follow.

Here a link to the video of my piece: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nl9NyjqGYL8

FUTURE

Cache 34237930.jpg Feathers.jpg Rub al Khali 002.JPG
In the future I would like to take this concept to a bigger plan. You can imagine this like a big exposition where you can see 10 or more landscapes been moved by machines. The landscapes themselves varie in size and material. The coral prototype is from latex but other landscapes could be from iron, sand etc etc.

LAB

MEASURING VOLT, RESISTANCE & CURRENT

Measuring Voltage

3,15V

IMG-20160525-WA0011.jpg

Measuring calculate Resistance

serie resistance

R1+R2+R3= 109,20 Ohm 10.000+330+100.000= 110,33 Ohm

parallel resistance

De totale weerstand met 2 weerstanden = 500 Ohm 1000:2= 500 Ohm - dit komt omdat hij het aantal weerstanden deeld op de weer De totale weerstand met 3 weerstanden = 333 Ohm 1000:3= 333 - dit komt omdat hij het aantal weerstanden deeld op de weer

Mesuring Current

I=11,18 A

MAKING A CIRCUIT (Etching a Printed Circuit Board)

And the circuit worked quite well!! Here the video of it. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9JL7ga9qnNs

Refrences

Tom Verbruggen|Module #1

(2009) Handmade 4 Step sequencer. Able to transmit 4 midi notes, wireless.

Tom Verbruggen makes the mechanical part an esthetic artwork, I love the way he displayed the machine.
My idea is that I would like to make the mehanical visual and esthetic good looking.

Reuben Margolin|Pentagonal Wave

The Pentagonal wave is a similar visual stategy as I use, in my eyes he has made a beautiful landscape out of cilinders on a string.

Stephen Cartwright|Kinetic Mesh

2012
"text from his site":This programmable sculpture can display an infinite number of topographies based on a wide variety of inputted data. Cartwright uses data from a wide variety self-recordeing projects to create new moving landscapes. Each intersection on the 12x6 mesh can move vertically depending on the value of discrete data points within the set. With each row of new data, data sets with 6 or 12, columns scroll across the machine in waves. 72 column data sets completely refresh the entire surface.

Stephen has used a similar punching system tu make his moving landscapes. But his driving mechanism is different than the one I use, he uses digital programming for his landscapes. I use an drill as driving mechanism that is al lot more low tech but fun to change the speed in an simple way.
