Fiber Grid

This is one of the three final projects of the Infections workshop at YTU.

The conceptual framework is developed by Begüm Aktaş (YTU) and Merve Özhan (BAU). According to them; the existing host body is a 16×11 unit glass brick wall, which is constructed to separate the corridor of the faculty and to create semi-private spaces for various activities. In this project, the host body is considered the dead tissue of an organism. Sound is considered an injection that changes the inner structure of the organism and transforms the dead tissues into sensitive fibers. This injection revitalizes the solid and gridal inner structure, and the more it gets fibrous the more it is sensitive. As the surrounding sound rises, the process gets faster and the fibrous structure becomes flexible.
The parametric definition includes Firefly extension to Grasshopper, making the deformation responsive to surrounding sounds. Here is the raw Grasshopper file [GHX: 0.9.0014] Remember, this requires Firefly with audio-vision components (this means it won’t work on Rhinoceros 5.0 64-bit). This project is realized by developing a grid out of interpolated curves, which are sensitive to a traveling attractor. The movement leaves traces as it is a history-enabled algorithm. Sound is used as another input to manipulate the attractor’s behavior. Below are screenshots and photographs of the actual installation at YTU.
