Art and science in one device
Probably each of us at the word "earthquake" has at least the indifference, and often still extremely negative emotions. However, a few young designers decided to change our attitude to this natural phenomenon, showing that even an earthquake can be a source of inspiration.
Device The Quakescape 3D Fabricator was created by designer James Buck (James Boock) in response to the earthquake in Christchurch in New Zealand. The device takes earthquake data provided by Geo-net, and embodies them in the art through the use of technology Arduino and breadboard reduced in scale Christchurch: the mechanism of paints in different colors those locations where there have been tremors. This layout acts as a blank canvas and allows the paint to move around the landscape creating amazing colourful paintings. Thus, statistics transformirovalsya in functional art.
Each color represents the aftershocks of different magnitude and passes through the two horizontal axes using stepper motors powered by G-code generated through Arduino. This allows the nozzle to move over the exact places of passage of the earthquake.
Once the location is determined, the ink is pumped into the containers through the tubes and is expelled through the nozzle. It is at this point accurate data about the earthquake are transformed into an art form.
The initial idea of the transformation of data about an earthquake in a visual representation belonged to the co-author of the project of Josh Newsome-white (Josh Newsome-White). Also in the implementation of the concept was attended by Brooke Bowers (Bowers, Brooke), Hannah Warren (Hannah Warren), George Redmond (George Redmond), Stuart Richie (Richie Stewart) and Philip Shipley (Shipley Philippa).
