Embodied Automation

Short video profiling Stefanie Pender’s work at the Autodesk Pier 9 residency, where the artist explored using robotics in metal and glass work:

Stefanie Pender is an artist and researcher who explores the translation of embodied knowledge of craft processes into automated technologies. Through human-machine collaboration, she exploits form-finding phenomena and the emergent properties of glass in order to discover novel material properties.

During her Pier 9 Residency, Stefanie developed a Fused Filament Deposition Modeling Printer (FFDM) for the application of printing glass fibers.  Emulating plastic filament printers, she built a tool that drives a glass fiber through a nozzle.  A dual flame torch melts the glass at around 2,000˚F as it exits the nozzle and deposits this melted glass onto a surface.  This tool is mounted to a small industrial robot which moves the tool to produce complex geometries inside a heated build chamber.

Blooms are 3-D printed sculptures designed to animate when spun under a strobe light. Unlike a 3D zoetrope, which animates a sequence of small changes to objects, a bloom animates as a single self-contained sculpture. The bloom’s animation effect is achieved by progressive rotations of the golden ratio, phi (ϕ), the same ratio that nature employs to generate the spiral patterns we see in pinecones and sunflowers. The rotational speed and strobe rate of the bloom are synchronized so that one flash occurs every time the bloom turns 137.5º (the angular version of phi).* Each bloom’s particular form and behavior is determined by a unique parametric seed I call a phi-nome (/fī nōm/). -John Edmark John Edmark is an artist, designer, and inventor. He teaches at Stanford University.

Yogurt Bites Recipe

You might have read the recipe for our yogurt bites at Instructables. But this time we bring you the video. Yogurt bites is a recipe made around two main ingredients: Greek Yogurt and cucumber.

Classic, Spicy and sweet. A recipe that was creating during my time at Pier 9, after a legendary talk/inspiration-time with Sherry Wong (You rock).

Classic

Ingredients

Honey

Black sesame seeds

Black salt

"P9 AiR Profile: Madeline Gannon" by Pier 9

During her residency at Pier 9, Madeline Gannon developed a project called Quipt - a gesture-based control software that gives industrial robots basic spatial behaviors for interacting closely with people. Wearable markers and a motion capture system let the robot see and respond to you in a shared space. This lets you and the robot safely follow, mirror, and avoid one another as you collaborate together.
