DEVELOPMENT

As body parts, we chose the ear, the center of mass and the leg. Those things have in common that they can create and restore balance. As a human, we have to learn how to balance ourselves. From an early age, we play with imbalance as a learning mechanism.

Quickly we became inspired by the idea of creating a machine that replicates balance and imbalance at the same time. To find your balance you have to be unbalanced at first. Through mathematical equations, we tried to find a formula to recreate the balance but still giving space to the object to be imbalanced.

While trying to build this cool balancing machine we lost sight of the human aspect. To incorporate this human aspect we played on social behavior and game tactics, resulting in a beer table.

BEER BALANCE

We took a few steps back from the mathematics and tried to incorporate the human aspect more. We made a table which is perfectly balanced in itself. With placing beer we created unbalance and restored it.Taking one beer creates unbalance, you have to find a partner and make an agreement how to proceed.
