Tagging Contours
Monia De Marchi

Intermediate - Spring 2010

16 Morwell Basement
Mondays, 2-5pm

 

This year investigation will be how to juxtapose streams of figures on a formulated context.

We will define an organization method and with the use of the CNC machine we will scratch out material to allow distant figures and objects to be positioned.

With the use of specific toolpaths and method of manufacturing, you will investigate way of tagging contours between different figures, which will goes from a seamless and homogenous to a lush and distinct outcome.

The final output will be a relief investigating a systematic objectification of contours between incongruent figures and operations.

 

We have a series of figures characterized by distinct silhouettes, boards of high density foams of 40*40*5 cm and a CNC machine. You will be deciding how to organize the selected figures, where to have the contours and how these contours will be treated. You will sculpt texture edges and design distinctive contours.

The complexity of different type of surfaces and the resolution of detail will be achieved with different machining process with the CNC milling machine. You will identify the favourable machining set-up orientation, and generate effective 3/axis CNC tool paths for each part of your relief that will be sent to CNC machine.
