In this project we saw how kinetic objects suspended and their different shapes and forms moved. I got the chance to make a sculpture with different layers that moved and was mathematical. I had to make the distances between each plane similar so that it would balance. This project was challenging and fun because the string placement and material impacted the outcome of the entire project.

Researching about Bruno Munari's Useless Machine

Trying to recreate Bruno Munari's Useless Machine

Prototype 1

prototype 1

Prototype 2: Not so balanced. I have to pull the first layer and the last layer to make it straight.

Prototype 2: With a new strategy I made the layers balanced and Knew where to put the holes for the strings

Tying my first tier. Going from the bottom to the top.

Trying to create shadow to show how it will react with light.

Video of my final. I learned that if you don't succeed once in what you do, problem solve and you will find a solution.
