About Same But Different Prìomh Ghnìomh: Stàladh Ealain

Teacsa an Leabhair: Is e stàladh ealain a th' ann an Ceudna Ach Eadar-dhealaichte a thionndaidheas fàileadh gu cruth corporra. Tha an obair stèidhichte air iomairean, is e sin todhar a tha aig a bheil an aon fhoirmle cheimigeach ach rèiteachadh eadar-dhealaichte de dadaman, agus mar sin as urrainn dhaibh dà fhàileadh eadar-dhealaichte a ghiùlan. Anns gach ealbhaidh tha dà fhàileadh co-cheangailte, a tha a' toirt an cruthan moileciuil còmhla ann an aon chruth. Tha na cruthan air an clò-bhualadh 3D agus air an còmhdachadh le grunn shreathan de pheant holografach, air a chur air le spraeghunna gnìomhachais. Glèidhidh seòmraichean a-staigh anns a bheil stuthan sùghaidh na fàilidhean, a tha a' sgapadh a-mach tro chaolanan tana. Faodaidh luchd-tadhail gach pìos a chumail nan làmhan agus a bholadh.

About the Duais Iarainn A' Design Award

Tha Same But Different Prìomh Ghnìomh: Stàladh Ealain air Duais Iarainn A' Design Award a bhuannachadh, aithneachadh urramach a bheirear do dhealbhaidhean math a choinnicheas ris na riatanasan proifeiseanta is gnìomhachais a thathar a' sùileachadh bho chruthachaidhean a chaidh an dealbhadh gu math. Tha buannaichean Iarainn a' nochdadh sgil mhòr, speisealachadh àrd, tuigse eòlaiche agus comas cruthachail an luchd-cruthachaidh. Thathar an dùil gum bi Same But Different Prìomh Ghnìomh: Stàladh Ealain na chruthachadh air a bheil mòran meas, ion-mholta agus gràdhach a tha practaigeach agus ùr-ghnàthach. Tha an dealbhadh seo a bhuannaich Duais Iarainn A' Design Award a' cur nan cleachdaidhean as fheàrr sa ghnìomhachas còmhla agus tha feartan teignigeach comasach aige ceangailte ri eòlas-dèanamh agus tàlant. Tha meas air Same But Different Prìomh Ghnìomh: Stàladh Ealain airson a dhùrachd agus chaidh a dhealbhadh gus leasachaidhean càileachd beatha a thoirt seachad a chuidicheas le bhith a' dèanamh an t-saoghail na àite nas fheàrr.

Unique Properties: The project is about converting smell into a physical form and constructing visual interpretation in two different approaches. For the first approach, to provide a tangible experience of the smell, forms were created. Each shape contains two relevant smells. Molecular representation of the smells has to be placed together to create a form. Smells were contrasted in their juxtaposition to each other using still-life layouts based on these smells' chemical arrangements for the second approach.
Dimensions & Packaging: The 3D forms around 12-15cm and printed with the maximum resolution of the printer. The inside of the forms has internal chambers (2cm) with absorbent materials, which allow preserving the smell. The chambers are connected to the exterior through thin conduits (2mm), which allow the smell to diffuse out.
Tags: smell, chemistry, 3dprint, sculpture, art, tangible, juxtaposition, 3d, holographic
Production Technology: The forms were 3D printed and coated with several holographic paint layers applied by an industrial airbrush. Shape and a colour give a hint about the duality of the smell preserved in one form.
Design Challenge: The project's greatest challenge was to stay on the scientific side and translate real phenomena into the experience for the ordinary person.
Research: There are thousands of chemical substances. The exploration is about unique pairs which have the same formula but have two different smells. Only a small variation in the arrangement of their atoms makes them different. This rare and unique phenomenon was found and confirmed with experts (perfumers and chemists) through the research.
Inspiration: The complexity of the human senses is impressive. If you are interested in the topic, it will bring you to the research in the chemistry behind them, in this project specifically to smells.
Project Duration: The project started in January 2017 in Moscow and finished after five months. It was exhibited in the "Reveal" show in June 2017.
Operation Flow: People can smell and grab the sculptures to experience them from different angles.
