Amorphous Anemones
What if these structures were motion sensitive and opened or closed by your prescence? I propose to animate these cellular inspired zip-tie lattices utilizing Nitinol or Muscle Wire morphing and contoring using motion sensors. Additionally, I might integrate LED’s and video projection upon a scrim covered curtain to illuminte the texture – glowing in intesnsity according to the motion of a passerby. The overall aim of the prototype is to create an immersive amorphous environment reminiscent to the undulating movement of sea anemones. This project is inspired and based upon the following installation below:
Branching Morphogenesis explores fundamental processes in living systems and their potential application in architecture. The project investigates part-to-whole relationships revealed during the generation of branched structures formed in real-time by interacting lung endothelial cells placed within a 3D matrix environment. The installation materializes five slices in time that capture the force network exerted by interacting vascular cells upon their matrix environment.
