This course examines fabrication techniques as potential activators of material systems. Working at the interface between fact and matter, computed geometry and machinic properties, we will develop material catalogues translating visible and invisible properties into variables of effect, behaviour, scale and articulation.

In the second term we will move from the 2D geometrical principles of the oculus (360°) to the 3D kaleidoscope ‘machine’, operating on principles of multiple reflections and simultaneous viewpoints. We will use Rhinoceros, laser cutting, and CNC technologies to create a series of ‘data prototypes’ demonstrating possible spatial negotiations between the machine and the material.
