Flying Glider 2.0
Project 1: Critical Making exercise Reimagine an existing technology or platform using the provided sets of cards. Presentation 13 September. This project was created by: Jamie, Simone, Guido, Jelle and Michelle.
Our goal for this project was to reimagine an existing technology or platform. In order to do that we picked two cards. The cards had different categories: technology/platform, ‘’an obligation’’ and an technique. Our cards: DIY kit, A painful or stressful version of.. and our own technique wood + laser cutter. We decided to create a painful an stressful version of a flying glider (kids toy). The original flying glider is made out of foam and had an iconic packaging. We created one that is made out of wood. The laser cut plan was designed to be cut on an 4 mm piece of wood, but we used a 3 mm one. When somebody would put the plane together the pieces would not completely fit. Next to that we also made a useless manual (‘click piece one to one and after that connect piece one to one’) When you finally finished putting the plane together and want to make it fly, the plane would fall apart.
