MATERIAL DRIVEN
Master Thesis
Year: 2019
Inherent in every material are form-giving forces that can enrich artifacts with an inner logic and comprehensibility. »Material driven, digitally produced« examines how these forces can be used as a source of variation and uniqueness in digital fabrication. With the aid of a digitally controlled robotic arm, liquid porcelain is processed in a free-flowing manner and used to produce finely structured objects. The resulting patterns make the material behavior visible even after the casting process. The work refers to the dialogue between autonomous material and sensitive craft and transfers aspects of it into a generative, digital-analog process.
