About Yinyun سیرامک آرٹ تنصیب

یین یون ایک سیرامک آرٹ تنصیب ہے جو 85 منفرد تھری ڈی پرنٹ شدہ اکائیوں پر مشتمل ہے۔ برقی ڈیٹا کو حاصل کرنے اور اسے ہر اکائی پر بصری شکل دینے کے لیے جنریٹو ڈیزائن الگورتھمز استعمال کیے گئے، جن سے مل کر ایک تدریجی (گریڈینٹ) تاثر پیدا ہوتا ہے۔ یہ اکائیاں سیرامک تھری ڈی پرنٹنگ کے ذریعے تیار کی گئیں، جس میں سفید چینی مٹی اور ایک بجلی گھر سے دوبارہ حاصل کی گئی کوئلے کی راکھ کا مرکب استعمال کیا گیا۔ پرنٹنگ کا عمل ہر ٹکڑے کی سطح پر ایک باریک نقش و نگار بھی پیدا کرتا ہے۔ کوئی دو اکائیاں ایک جیسی نہیں ہیں۔ یہ تنصیب مستقل طور پر تائی پے، تائیوان کے ایک نمائشی ہال میں نصب ہے۔

The Recognition

About the A' Design Award کانسی انعام

Yinyun سیرامک آرٹ تنصیب A' Design Award کانسی انعام کا فاتح ہے، جو ان ممتاز ڈیزائنز کو دیا جانے والا انتہائی باوقار اعتراف ہے جو تخلیقی صلاحیت، چالاکی اور ذہانت سے پہچانے جاتے ہیں۔ کانسی کے فاتحین نہایت ماہرانہ اور حیرت انگیز طور پر تخلیقی نمونے ہیں جو اپنے ڈیزائنرز کے وسیع تجربے، تخیل اور ذہانت کی تصدیق کرتے ہیں۔ Yinyun سیرامک آرٹ تنصیب سے توقع کی جاتی ہے کہ وہ ایک نہایت قدر کی جانے والی، سراہی جانے والی اور عزیز شے ہوگا جو قابل ذکر حد تک پیشہ ورانہ اور جدید ہے۔ A' Design Award کانسی انعام جیتنے والا یہ ڈیزائن فن، سائنس، ڈیزائن اور ٹیکنالوجی میں بہترین طریقوں کو شامل کرتا ہے اور تفصیلات پر توجہ میں ممتاز ہے۔ Yinyun سیرامک آرٹ تنصیب ضروریات کو خوبصورتی سے پورا کرتا، خواہشات کو چھوتا، جذبات کو مسحور کرتا اور تجسس کو اپیل کرتا ہے۔

Unique Properties
Yinyun is an art installation composed of 85 unique 3D printed ceramic units. Through generative design algorithm, the electric information was extracted and visualized on every unit, together creating a gradient effect. Ceramic 3D printing, with a mixture of recycled material, was then used to fabricate these units, at the same time, creating detailed surface relief which was indicated by this technique. None of the units is the same as others.
Dimensions & Packaging
Dimension(ceramic parts): L: 910cm, W: 360cm, H: 230cm

Production Technology
The project heavily relied on close cooperation among algorithm development, 3D printing, and material experiments. All designs were completed through several generative algorithms, including data processing, form generation, slicing, and Gcode output. Then our custom 3D printer with remote extrusion system was used to achieve such large sizes. The material was a mixture of white porcelain and coal ash recycled from power plant.
Design Challenge
In order to achieve large-scale and stable printing, we developed our custom extrusion system and slicing program, testing it back and forth between digital and physical space, which took nearly half of the time for this project. The material factors were carefully taken into consideration, including ceramic ratio, viscosity, temperature, humidity, since a 3D printer can't be dynamically adjusted as human hands during production. The shrinkage after firing also increased the difficulty of assembly.
Research
The goal of this project is to examine the relationship between traditional craft and modern techniques. As we developed a new shape language in digital space, it was completely originated from ceramic 3D printed texture. The traditional expertise in ceramics and modern digital fabrication skills were combined in real-world printing, together created pieces with rich craftsmanship, but can only be achieved by modern technique.
Inspiration
The motivation of this project is to create an elegant art installation blending the science education atmosphere in this green energy exhibition hall. Inspired by the natural phenomenon of electromagnetic, which created non-uniformed field tensors in the space. To express this specific effect, an installation consisted of a large number of units were proposed, contrasting in form and pattern. This project also showcases Fabcraft design lab’s long-term interest in generative design and 3D printing technology.
Project Duration
The project began at the end of 2018, and was completed in December 2019. Since then, it has been a permanent public art located in Taipower D/S ONE exhibition hall in Taipei, Taiwan.
Operation Flow
The installation was designed to be viewed from different angles, at the same time, produce positive route guidance in the exhibition hall. A possible interaction can be created while visitors moving upstairs, changing from low angle to eye-level angle, they will observe an optical illusion caused by lights and textures. Moreover, the fluid surfaces are zoomed into a layered ceramic texture with rich 3D printing characteristics.
