Physical Fabrication



In Electronic Vessels we had to create a product for our 'client'/fellow students in the studio that would help express the idea behind their original work in Identity Vessels. My partner's initial idea targeted collaboration between people. Collaboration is often hard to achieve. In order to utilize collaboration in my project, I decided that my project had to have a clear goal to achieve, such as getting something like food or a gift. The project is called The Candy Vault and you need two people to open it. One user must input the code on a separate console to unlock the vault itself and the other user must send the code using Morse code. Ideally this project could be used to help foster teamwork, relations or as a fun puzzle with two people. but to ensure the vault is not opened early without the right code the door has a dead bolt run through it that is connected to a motor, which only retracts the motor when the right code is input.

In Electronic Vessels I have improved upon my digital fabrication skills by gaining a significantly better understanding of Rhino. In regards to physical fabrication skills, specifically collaborating with others that helped me with assembling part of the project, which was very frustrating at times. but I persisted with the construction where things didn't always work out how I planned, especially in the face of unforeseen issues like screws stripping or pieces which were originally cut to the right size suddenly not fitting or being too big or too small. In order to continue growing further I will need to be a tad more thorough in planning ahead.
