Aro-matic Form Finding
Created with Aran Dasan and first shown at Electromagnetic Field 2024, Aro-matic (main page) is a Solarpunk speculative futures project. A scent organ, able to blend and create cocktails of aromas. Below are some of the details of the process of computational form-finding with Rhino Grasshopper that led to the creation of the visual language…
Sonic Stones
The Sonic Stones project enables historic monuments such as the giant Sarsen Stones of Avebury Stone Circle to tell visitors the story of their history in a new and engaging way. The project is an ongoing collaboration between Jay Auborn & Giorgio Cortiana (Sound Reactions), Professor Mark Gillings (University of Bristol), Robin (Thawney), Ela and…
Form Finding – Differential Growth
Inspired by the beautiful stone sculptures carved by Kim Francis, I thought it would be a fun challenge to create similar forms algorithmically using the software Grasshopper and Kangaroo 2. The algorithm is a physical simulation of a surface growing over time, simple rules create complex forms using a process known as differential growth, where…
Proper Time
Proper Time is an ongoing project led by Raquel Meseguer Zafe, of Unchartered Collective. This project is about time: crip time, slow time. Time is a physical and existential experience. Time that relates to space, presence, and scale. Part science lecture, part live gig, part movement, part theatre. The question at the heart of it:…
Robotwist Jar Opener
Robotwist is an automatic jar opener that has helped millions of elderly and weaker handed people to open jars or all sizes. Mark Sanders was the innovation, design and engineering genius on this amazing product. I was brought in to do design engineering on some of the internal components, like the gears, the jaws, fitting…
