Week 8 | Electro-liquid Aggregation
"I think computer viruses, like in the long history of humankind, have learned to collaborate and improvise most effectively, showing that the purely destructive have prevailed, displaying life in our own image".

Nicole Kuepper: "I have always been interested in science, but more importantly I have always been interested in the application of science to find appropriate technological solutions to global problems."

Stephen Hawking: "I think computer viruses should count as life. I think it says something about human nature that the only form of life we have created so far is purely destructive. We've created life in our own image."

Week 6 | Draft & Developed SketchUp Model Images
Option 1 : Words - Human(Top,Piccinini) Surveillance(Bottom,Goodwin)
The idea of "human" in the design of the top of the model was represented through the flowing and free lines while the concept of "surveillance" at the bottom of the design was shown by the multiple shapes that light took from flashlights.
Textures Used in Model
Bold (Top)
The idea of "human" in the design of the top of the model was represented through the flowing and free lines while the concept of "surveillance" at the bottom of the design was shown by the multiple shapes that light took from flashlights.
Option 2: Words - Human(Top,Piccinini) Observing(Bottom,Goodwin)
The top of the design was also based upon the flowing and free nature of humanity while "observing" at the bottom was respresented through the concept of eyeballs from different angles so as to create an atmosphere of always being watched.
Option 2 was chosen for development as Option 1 had too many restrictions on its design. The design of Option 2 was significantly changed to aid the model's spatial development as the draft demonstrated a linear approach to the design. The top design was changed to diminish its linear nature while the bottom was altered due to its spatial problems.
Additionally the use of the "bold" texture at the top was based on my opinion of Piccinini's work whilst the application of the "distorted" texture at the bottom was used to amplify the curvature of the spheres, and the use of textured steel and rusted metal gave an industrial feel to the studio which was inspired by the type of work Goodwin designed.

Week 5 | New Stair Designs & Model Development
Top: Human (Piccinini)
The design of these stairs were based on the idea of humanity's free flowing nature, utilising minimal materials for the balustray to provide a balance between the freedom and safety a person would experience while travelling along the stairs. The idea of safety was also reinforced with the use of anodised aluminium metal for the staircase.
Bottom: Observing (Goodwin)
The design of these stairs was developed with the idea of providing a fairly open space while making people feel confined in their movements. Textured metal steel was used for the staircase to conform to the industrial nature of the studio design.

Words: Human(Top,Piccinini) & Observing(Bottom,Goodwin)
