Compressor inflating metal

Technique practical research “Your scientists were so preoccupied with whether or not they could, they didn't stop to think if they should.” Dr. Ian Malcolm, Jurassic Park The examination of the industrial principles of hydroforming sheet metal and converting them into air pressure inflation without a mold, created a process that combines the industrial with craft. Creation, documentation, and analysis form the database, quick sketches examine the inflating display that creates values of structure, shape, aesthetics and geometric responses. The mastery of the technique allows and determines the ability to control and define the parameters that make up an object, while the moment of inflating contains an unexpected dimension. The inflating demonstration/manifestation/display sets the tone for the project, while the same mindset is illustrated with a scene at the beach. Advisor: Tal Gur
