success - I’ve
got through the initial application, a day of meetings/presentation, ‘interview’,
the short-listing and the joint application to have the opportunity to work
with the Crafts Council on a project titled - PARALLEL PRACTICES - http://www.craftscouncil.org.uk/what-we-do/parallel-practices/
It’s a really
interesting collaboration I am about to work with Thrishantha
Nanayakkara http://www.kcl.ac.uk/nms/depts/informatics/people/atoz/nanayakkarat.aspx
who works at The Centre for Robotics Research, School of Natural and
Mathematical Sciences at
Kings in London and Naomi Mcintosh who creates body related Jewellery
and
Jewellery related objects - http://www.naomimcintosh.com/.
It’s going to be a great journey of discovery for us all. The project we have
created is called Squeeze
Fold Bend and Expand - Structural Memory in Deformable Objects. We want
to extend current soft robotics through model making, challenging and
expanding
our practices by exploring ways of controlling movement and articulation of
objects in order to build new structures whose functionality and manipulation
will be framed and enriched by knowledge of soft robotics – phew!!!
