The works are shown in the exhibition ‘Textile Morphologies'(2013) showcasing the doctoral work of Sean Ahlquist. And the original post is from Sophia Kim in Section C. I agree with her the impression of molecules and I did more background research after reading her post.
At first, what fascinates me of the project was the designer making use of the inner tension between objects to create forms. I felt the technological as well as the aesthetic thinkings behind the artwork. After further research, I’m even more interested because of the spatial potention of it. What presented in the exhibition was actually prototypes of tactile interfaces and environments for developing motor skills and social interaction in children with autism. I regarded the work as ‘art’ at the first glance but suddenly the scientific thinkings and profund meaning behind unveil before my eyes. I think computational tools play very important roles in the design process in analyzing the relationship between the form and effects on human such as visuality and touchability and also the integration of the forms and other technologies such as projection.
