„Kukaramika” was a part of a student project called „Do Roboty”. The main idea of the project was to analyze chosen by us crafts and to translate it to a robot’s language (a robot’s movement). As a „Kukaramika” team, we were interested in one of the oldest ceramic techniques – coiling method - consisting of placing one coil of clay on top of another. To achive that we equipped the robot with a pressure extruder filled with a ceramic mass. A robot motion had been programmed in a similar way to a 3D printer by creating layer-by-layer objects. An immitation of a pottery craft wasn’t the most important point of a project. We wanted the robot to create objects that user will be appreciating on the same level as a handmade craft. Our ispiration was a heart. Objects we printed were an interpretation of a heartbeat. A bulb is an equivalent of every single one recorded heartbeat sound that creates a series of a unique pattern on the ceramic object.
