Hybrid sculpture for the London Camomile street. Carved from sustainably sourced timber, the sculpture shape evokes the imagery of a gateway, inviting viewers to reflect on possible futures, transformation, and the threshold between realities. The piece relies on a complex pattern, milled into the outer layer of our three-layered design, acting as a "marker" guiding the augmented reality experience.

"Tufting Ex Machina" was a two-day workshop at @aavistus where 10 participants engaged in a dadaist method resulting in 24 tufted squares, covering a surface of 140 * 210 cm. The assignment was to research ones identity (cultural, national, personal and more) through patterns, and work with sketching and generative AI to combine, remix and create anew. With a quick intro to the tufting machine, participants began their journey into yarn and rug making.

For this particular workshop, @rose.hallgren designed and built a custom modular frame for compact transportation. It worked so well, and more development of the design is to come! To make things additionally interesting, conductive thread was added, providing several touch points, while producing a (very improvised) multilayer track using Beepbox. The touch points would trigger sound made with ZzFX.
