Wondeland Ready Made.
Todo viaje es una huida. Nuestros deseos guerrilleros mas perseverantes consiguen quebrar la atenta mirada de nuestra conciencia, acorralandola con placer.
Hoy nos entregamos sin culpa, e incluso en el mas obstinado compromiso, a aquello que brota naturalmente de nuestro interior, todo lo inexplicable,mágico y real.
Hoy nos alejamos de cualquier inhibicion que obstruya nuestra mision desconocida. Nuestra unica mision. La de responder a este llamado oculto de verdad, sin temor y con pasion.
Bienvenidos al maravilloso mundo de Alicia.
The present workshop inaugurates a new series of events dedicated to digital architecture and fabrication processes. This time we will be hosting students from the University of Patras [Greece] / Faculty of Architecture for an introduction into parametric thinking and material computation.
Designing material systems is blurring the limits between computation and physical form. A set of input parameters is needed in order for complex geometries and conditions to be elaborated. Parametric thinking causes a shift in the way a designed object is conceived through downscaling the system into elementary units. Thinking parametrically makes objects be generated by an internal mathematical logic based upon numbers and algorithms, instead, or on top, of the traditional conceptual procedures.
In this workshop the use of parametrically designed catenary geometries made up from repetitive components will generate inverted topographies evocative of Gaudi’s models. Further parametric correlations will be based on synesthetic translations between images and form.
” The catenary model is an example of material computation, essentially self-calculating, resolving through feedback multidimensional forces acting on the linked field of strands and weights… As any scientist dealing with dynamics of material systems will tell you, the material field will always generate richer and more singular expressions than the programs derived from them will produce. Thus, there will always be a place for the analog in structural experimentation.” Reiser + Umemoto, 2005, Atlas of Novel Tectonics
Investigadores del Máster de Diseño de la Interacción de Elisava desarrollarán una serie de proyectos para demostrar diferentes principios en la utilización de energías renovables. Éstos proyectos tratarán sobre el absurdo y la imposibilidad de demostrar ciertos principios básicos de la preservación de la energía. Al estilo de “La Novia puesta al desnudo por sus solteros, incluso” de Douchamp, las máquinas para la cocina de Leonardo Da Vinci, o las máquinas imposibles de Bruno Munari.
