intersections

is an inventory of theories and methodologies reflecting intersections of art, design, science and technology. Run by Dhiya Muhammad. Artist-Designer and educator based in Singapore. Another blog which he runs, is a collection of his mode and musings. m-d-r-n Visit his portfolio site: www.m-d-r-n.info Dhiya can be reached at [email protected]

Recently, researchers started to engineer not only the outer shape of objects, but also their internal microstructure. Such objects, typically based on 3D cell grids, are also known as metamaterials. Metamaterials have been used, for example, to create materials with soft and hard regions. So far, metamaterials were understood as materials—we want to think of them as machines. We demonstrate metamaterial objects that perform a mechanical function. Such metamaterial mechanisms consist of a single block of material the cells of which play together in a well-defined way in order to achieve macroscopic movement. Our metamaterial door latch, for example, transforms the rotary movement of its handle into a linear motion of the latch. Our metamaterial Jansen walker consists of a single block of cells—that can walk. The key element behind our metamaterial mechanisms is a specialized type of cell, the only ability of which is to shear. In order to allow users to create metamaterial mechanisms efficiently we implemented a specialized 3D editor. It allows users to place different types of cells, including the shear cell, thereby allowing users to add mechanical functionality to their objects. To help users verify their designs during editing, our editor allows users to apply forces and simulates how the object deforms in response.

Succession 2016

Succession was created for the 20th Biennale of Sydney: The Future is Already Here - It's Just Not Evenly Distributed. It consists of two fragmented columns inhabited by a selection of Australian plant species that continued to grow over the course of the exhibition.

In this workshop for the DGTF conference “Reassembling Relationships: People Systems Things” we wove interactive, decorative bands that lit up when tied together, using rigid band looms, silver yarn, LEDs and batteries. The aim of the workshop was to give a hands-on exploration of interactive textiles, with an introduction to the history and connection between weaving and digital technologies.
