“The pattern is the code”: This motto will guide us in programming shrink plastic that will transform itself following our “commands”. This programing however happens analogously and not digitally. By applying geometric patterns, as well as cutting the sheets in certain places, they fold themselves in a controlled manner. These resulting mini sculptures with their organic look and feel embody the potential of transformable materials.
Materials needed:
Shrink plastic
Black pencil
