Beyond Resonance explores how a circle transforms when it's distorted by a wave. Different waves are used to manipulate the perimeter of a circle into a more organic looking shape. The machines, with their imperfections, added some glitches to the otherwise perfect geometric shapes. Their mechanical resonance make the work unique, as it can't be reproduced in the exact same way.
The pieces made by Jan during this lab are 3D printed objects and engraved boards of MDF (made with the lasercutter).
“Beyond Resonance” explore la transformation d’une forme régulière - un cercle - par une onde, ce qui lui donne un aspect plus organique. Les imperfections apportées par les machines utilisées pour produire ces objets contribuent elles-même à la déformation de ce cercle parfait. Défauts de fabrications qui, difficiles à reproduire à l’identique, rendent ces pièces uniques.
