Functionless

An interactive 3D tool exploring how surreal household items can become when we imagine their form apart from their function. The main element of this installation is the connection between the customized software and the analog controller that enables users to craft their own designs. An evolving gallery showcases past creations, inviting and inspiring new users. A real-size stool sculpture is fabricated, blurring the boundaries between physical and digital; giving shape to forgotten items.
