Manufacturing Material Effects Exhibition
The Manufacturing Material Effects Exhibition, at the Indianapolis Museum of Art, framed and displayed the design and material production work of leading international designers and fabricators who participated in the Manufacturing Material Effect international symposium, and subsequent book release from Routledge Press. Designed, fabricated, and installed by a design studio working closely with industry partners [...]
Displaced Resonance
Consisting of sixteen distinct sculptural forms, Displaced Resonance uses varied length tubing to filter sounds from base-mounted speakers according to particular resonant frequencies. A camera-based computer system tracks the movement of spectators within the installation and responds by controlling and changing the distribution of sound to the tubes and associated LED lighting. Sounds played through the [...]
Shufa Lounger
i.M.A.D.E and A2SX have formed a furniture design collaborative centered around producing new, innovative seating prototypes with minimal material waste. Using digital design and fabrication technologies, the prototypes are designed, optimized structurally and ergonomically, and fabricated using digital information. Further optimization for this work-in-progress is underway including the efficient nesting of components to [...]
Digital Exchange Exhibition @ Ball State
Originally shown at the ACADIA 2006 Conference, the DigitalXchange Exhibition was redeployed at Ball State University’s College of Architecture and Planning Gallery. The exhibition featured the work of 85 international designers hung on an exhibition display system which was designed and fabricated by i.M.A.D.E and University of Kentucky students. Recent digital fabrication projects from i.M.A.D.E [...]
Digital Exchange Exhibition
i.M.A.D.E students took part in digitally designing, fabricating, and installing a gallery exhibition for the 2006 ACADIA Conference. Working with other students from the University of Kentucky, the design and fabrication process of this installation served as a ‘proof-of-concept’ model for a “digital exchange.”
In the true spirit of collaboration, the design was completely centered [...]
