About Alive Kev Teeb Tsa Duab Kos Uas Txav Tau (Kinetic Art Installation)

Alive yog ib qho kev teeb tsa duab kos uas txav tau, tsim rau hauv tsev rau pej xeem, chaw ua haujlwm thiab lwm qhov chaw rau pej xeem. Kev txav ntawm dej, uas yog lub hauv paus ntawm txhua txoj sia, yog lub tswv yim tseem ceeb tshaj plaws. Lub hauv paus tsim los ntawm MDF thiab muaj ib lub cav me me uas ntsiag to nyob rau hauv. Daim npog tsim los ntawm neoprene nrog 2000 daim plexiglass me me lo rau. Lub cav rub daim ntaub thiab ua rau cov khoom me me txav mus raws li tus koob txuv, tig maj mam ua voj voog, tsim ib qho suab paj nruag ntsiag to. Alive ua raws li cov hauv paus ntsiab lus biophilic, uas txuas kev sib cuag nrog ntuj tsim rau kev noj qab nyob zoo hauv tsev. Qhov kev teeb tsa no muaj qhov ntev 1200 los ntawm 100 los ntawm 1200 milliliv.

Unique Properties: This dynamic object is based on biophilic design principles, inspired by water - the foundation and source of all life. Alive is designed for public interiors, offices or various public spaces. It is based on the research that rhythm or movement, perceived in nature, creates a strong impression and a positive impact on the human being. Alive provides the vitality of the environment and reminds us to nurture Mother Nature, our home.
Dimensions & Packaging: Design object consist of MDF construction, motor and neoprene with 2000 plexiglass details attached. Dimensions: Width 1200mm x Depth 100mm x Height 1200mm
Tags: alive, design, object, biophilic, movement, nature
Production Technology: There were two main tasks in design and production. First, how to create simple, inexpensive mechanics to make the object move the particles from inside. Second task - thinking of the whole covering part - elastic but strong textile with attached small details, expressing the best effect of movement while keeping all particles in place. The base structure is construction of MDF and small, but strong motor. The covering part is made using neoprene with specially designed 2000 plexiglass details.
Design Challenge: A few design and technology challenges were met. One of the biggest task was defining the best solution for a theme, concept and what kind of nature aspect should be used for. Also, technology challenges followed. The big question - how to create a powerful, but silent and small technology that would make the installation spin at the right intensity, rhythm, speed. After numerous consultations, research and experiments, all the solutions were found and the installation works as imagined.
Research: At first, my main but abstract goal was creating a design that is alive. But I started thinking that it isn’t enough to present the idea and concept in a narrow, only idea driven design. So I started a research to find and justify my idea - it was biophilic design. After a long research and getting deeper into a matter, I found a lot of statistics, data and projects, that proves the need and benefits of biophilic design in our modern, urbanist environments. Mostly there are designs that are applicable for architecture, interior, landscape design, but there is so little product, furniture design on the matter. So, the process started by finding the main and most affecting aspects of nature that could be transformed into a object. After a long path of research, experiments and ideas, I stick to the idea of transforming a feeling of moving water into a design object.
Inspiration: Biophilic design is based on the biophilia hypothesis. It is the innate tendency of a person to seek a connection with nature or just love for the living. With the rapid acceleration of urbanization, more and more biophilic design is used to create favorable living spaces in a modern environment, maintaining harmony between the person and nature. It has been proved that the application of biophilic design methods indoors, improves productivity, creativity and well-being.
Project Duration: The project started in February 2019 and finished in June 2019 in Vilnius Academy of Arts, Vilnius, Lithuania. It was exhibited in Titanikas gallery, in Vilnius June-July 2018.
Operation Flow: This object is based on simple mechanics, using small, silent motor that stretches the fabric and moves little details as it goes. It goes clockwise, around in circles, creating soothing, calming effect.
