HEUT #2
Highly-Evolved Useless Thing (HEUT) #4 is a kinetic installation prototype- one part of a series of research projects that explores “analog/digital” design approaches. It uses the most simple digital inputs to create delicate looks.
Highly-Evolved Useless Things
HEUT #4 consists of 9 different sizes hanging wood triangles, they are connected to the rotating arm of a stepper motor through heavy duty threads. A well-designed pulley system converts the circular motion into a series of vertical movements controlling 27 vertices. Each vertex is able to move up and down differently which creates a kinetic wave-like shape.
The design of HEUT #4 focuses not only on the form but also on the mechanism which supports it. The accurately repeating movements make this installation meditating and manifests the installation itself as a highly self-regulated system. By exposing the process of transforming the simple rotating movement to this three dimensional sine wave, this installation also highlights the aesthetics of mechanics and mathematics.
