Process

Ideation & sketches

Think of uploading your hand-drawings, "frankenstein prototypes", pictures with notes, everything that shows your thinking process and initial development of your personal project. Giving inside in your process, will help the mentors to assist you further in your development.

research papers can also be linked through an online link or when optimised, PDFs of research papers can be added to your repository and credited to the writer or researcher

Design & Fabrication

once you start designing and fabricating your first tests, you can link both at the bottom of the page with footnotes

"This step of the process was important because i learnt to draft my own pattern digitally. The first tests of this can be seen here on the right, find half- or test-fabrication files here¹"

Prototypes

prototypes are your first step towards shaping your final piece, product, material et cetera

Mentoring notes

Mentors in all sessions may share with you their comments, notes, advise, projects and technical equipment to check out. This is good place to share those, so that you can find them later on when you need them the most!

Thanks so much to stephanie.vilayphiou for all of the reseaources below on artists and designers who make mobiles!

Hello Alex, as promised, here are the references I wanted to share with you:

1) Isobel Leonard is an alumni from last year. She made wonderful mechanical installations which were moving when you would approach them found here

2) Manoah Camporini made an interactive installation also based on the proximity of visitors. The structure would move using brake strings, motors and conveyor belts found here

3) Bruno Munari was an Italian designer. He made mobiles which were used within the Montessori pedagogical methods. I really like the fact that things are not centred, but it is balanced anyhow, found here

4) Livingly, a very nice brand of contemporary mobiles found here

5) Other nice contemporary mobiles found here

6) Crochet Coral Reef Project. A collective project to warn people about the pollution of the oceans and the death of corals Corals are fractals, super interesting link between maths and textile! found here

7) lastly, an installation I saw in Brussels from found objects from the sea. I really like the way it is presented and the aesthetics of those found objects
