Drawing Machines: Conference Project
The initial goal of my conference project was to apply Hans Haacke’s methodology to a drawing machine. His institutional critique and social critique seemed rather far removed from the relatively simple drawing machines that we had been creating thus far….
Drawing Machines: Strandbeest
The Strandbeest was created by Theo Jansen to be an evolutionary creation of humans. These self sufficient simple machines are able to go on their own theoretically forever provided the right conditions. The way the machine is reliant on the…
Drawing Machines Conference Work
My conference work was based off the work of my artist, Bolognini. He made machines that drew images no one could see so I thought about who the drawing were intended for and came up with an inspired sketch of…
Drawing Machine: Conference Project
My conference project is based on David Rokeby’s idea about the relationship between machines and humans. He is good at exploring and bestowing machines’ ability of reaction. In other words, machines can respond to people’s behaviors. Thus, I created this…
Drawing Machines: Resistance
When I first started to think of what I wanted do for my final conference project, something that really interested me was gears. I definitely wanted to incorporate gears into my project somehow. Whether that be the gears are part…
Drawing Machines: Exploded Munari
“Personally, I thought that instead of painting squares, triangles and other geometric forms which still had a realistic feel…it might be interesting to free abstract forms from the stasis of paintings and suspend them in the air, joining them together…
Drawing Machines : Destroy To Create
Letter to My Object: To The Object formally known as a Television, Before this project, you were useless, and discarded. You had lost your place in the world and had become obsolete in the eyes of those who used to…
Drawing Machines: Impossible Machine
This machine was meant to reflect the artist we researched. However, because I wasn’t researching an artist but a philosopher, I was given a level of freedom that my other classmates were not afforded. I started by thinking about the…
Drawing Machines: Loom De Lune
In Ancient Andean tradition, women would invoke the Moon as creator of women. Acllas, or women weavers and food preparers in Inca administrative centers, were convinced of the Moon’s generative powers and her dominion over femininity. The Moon was considered…
Drawing Machines: Two Worlds
When I first conceived my conference project, I thought about the theme of Marinetti’s “Fast Running Car.” Coupled with the topic of gear in our course, I decided to use two gear drive devices to express my ideas. But after finishing…
Drawing Machines: Destroy to Create
The first letter: I’m just going to say it, you’re not a great telescope. Your design is functional, but rudimentary. Galileo came up with it. I used you as a kid to see the surface of the moon from…
Drawing Machines: A Simple Machine
The first simple machine I made was just a circle of popsicle sticks. The circle was mechanically wound by a drill on a nail with wire attached to the other end of the circle that had a drawing implement on…
Drawing Machines: Destroy to Create
Hey clothes! You are a very likable object to me, because you represent my school. But let me say it directly. I’m going to destroy you, since you look too ordinary. So I seldom wear you, which is a huge…
Drawing Machines: Destroy To Create
Letter to Object Dear glasses, I wore you for about two years. You were the first pair I picked out for myself. I probably thought I looked cute and interesting wearing you. Now I think you make my face look…
Drawing Machines: Destroy to Create
Dear Toy Car, I played with you for as long as I can remember. My parents surprised me with it when I was 2. I played with you for a while before I got over it. Since I have got…
Drawing Machines: Destroy to Create
Dear Music Box, Your soft tinkering enchanted us as our mothers put us to sleep. As children, we lost ourselves in your sweet ballads, your lullabies, and nursery rhymes. Mesmerized by the endless revolutions of your gears, we spent…
Drawing Machines: A Simple Machine
For this Assignment I chose to create a relatively simple machine, so that I could better understand the processes and behaviour of the simple linkages that I used. This proved to be a very good decision, because even given the…
Drawing Machines: Destroy to Create
Letter To Original Object: Dear Lamp, When I first saw you, lamp, I thought you would be my perfect match. I thought that we would get along forever, lighting up my life and being there when I needed you.You…
Drawing Machines: Re-create Machine
These pictures show my process of re-creating my old fan. The only function that a fan can do is rotating, and I want my fan can actually draw something so rip my fan apart. This is my final work…
Drawing Machine: A Simple Machine
This is my first drawing machine, which is a random assemblage of sticks. I was excited and curious when seeing plenty of tools and materials that I never used. I tried using them as frequently as possible without caring the…
