Book recommendation

New Directions in Jewellery explores contemporary jewellery as an experimental practice that engages with craft, design, fashion and popular culture. Profiling over 70 makers, with extensive illustrations and commentary, this book provides an overview of the new directions that jewellery is taking – from the innovative use of materials to conceptual pieces stretching the traditional definitions of what jewellery is.

With an introductory text, as well as essays by specialists in the design, curation and history of jewellery, the makers featured in this book are also brought into view through profiles and interviews. As a visual sourcebook this publication is accessible for those interested in contemporary craft, fashion, culture and style while providing essential reading for all jewellery makers.

BLOOMING STRUCTURES BY SIVAN ROYZ

laser cut silk 

Made of laser-cut silk pieces, these delicate objects are brought together by string, taking their shapes from nature.

Sivan Royz is a textile designer from Israel whose latest project, Blooming Structures, is a beautiful series of textile sculpture that also double as jewelry and accessories.

The white objects are small purses or pouches to hold an iPhone or a lipstick. The colored objects are a neck piece and a bracelet, which react to the body’s movements.

The future is now: Laser Cut Design Challenge

Laser Cut Design Laboratory is a studio for contemporary design, development, exploration and experiment in future concepts and techniques which contain within it the language of architecture, art and fashion. Laser Cut Design Laboratory needs to grow.

The future is now project praises the kaleidoscope of contrasting images and conditions that one has in their own design approach. This project overcomes the contrast design entities of two designers bringing them close to a creative flow similar to the act of making love.

The future is now is a laser cut challenge between two designers Jordan Tasevski and Aleksandra Shekutkovska.
Jordan Tasevski’s concept genesis is characterized by diagram application design which contains the very essence of architecture. The high school for applied arts enabled him to continue his design research in his studies at the Faculty of Architecture. Since then he has taken part in different kind of architectural workshops, projects and exhibitions about the Macedonian architecture. He has worked as an architectural critique, most of his research papers are published in magazines as well as on his blog http:// konvistinskataarhitektura.blogspot.com/.

Inspired by the whole art vocabulary Aleksandra Shekutkovska lives, creates and breathes ar(t)chitecture in the city of Skopje, Macedonia. She has had a couple of group presentations at Fashion Week Skopje, Fashion to go and creating a jewelry collection for the brand Stilissimo. Her individual presentations include Positive. Negative. Ideogram and Once I went into the enchanted forest. She has taken part into a number of architecture workshops and summer schools, the International Symposium of design in the digital era on theme Architecture and fashion. Graduated at the Faculty of Architecture she works as an architect and a designer.
Her explorations and experiments are developed in her studio for contemporary design Laser Cut Design Laboratory.

Scribbled thoughts on the last day at the sea

to be free is to dream,

to be able to run and fly in your everyday situations,

to be able to see the Master's creation

in every pebble 

every sun gaze and rainbow

to be free is to dream,

to see,

to hear,

to feel your body expanding it's limits,

to dream, that is to be free indeed...

scribbled thoughts on the last day at the sea

We ♥ : Laser Cut Generative Butterfly Installation

In the summer of 2007, The Barbarian Group was invited to participate in the exhibit Interactivity at the McLeod Residence – a gallery in Seattle, Wa. The Barbarians developed three pieces: the McLeod Mirror, Reflection 1: See Yourself in Others, a series of prints known as The Magnetic Structure Prints, and this project, Biomimetic Butterflies. The Butterflies were the centerpiece of the show, an installation taking up an entire room.

The Butterflies were a result of a cross country collaboration between Barbarians located in San Francisco, Boston, New York, and Los Angeles. The pedestals were constructed by Vince, a fabricator in Seattle

INSTALLATION

Our goal was to create mechanical creatures which would respond to observers by flapping their wings. Their motion is achieved using a combination of stepper motors, rare earth magnets, some custom circuitry and a Mac Mini driving the whole thing using input from a video camera. The Butterflies’ wings are created using designs which were laser cut into paper.

The Butterfly wings are made of laser cut, heavyweight drawing paper. After laser cutting, and some clean-up with an X-Acto knife, the wings are glued to a small piece of cotton to form a simple and delicate hinge. Using lightweight fabric keeps the overall look clean and creates a hinge with much less resistance than a more standard mechanical hinge. Each wing is fitted with two pairs of neodymium magnets by sandwiching the wing paper between each pair, making sure that the polarity on all magnets is consistent. To keep the Butterfly in place, we pin it to the mounting board with black insect mounting pins.

The fact that we need to laser cut these designs presents an interesting creative constraint. It means that the patterns have to obey the basic rules of stenciling - we cannot allow any “islands” or the wings would fall apart. In addition to each laser cut variation, we generate an additional 14 designs per species using their respective algorithms, which are printed in pairs.

The wings are articulated by moving a large neodymium magnet oriented so that it has the opposite polarity of the magnets on the wings. For example if the magnets on the wings all have the south pole facing down, the large magnet will have south facing up. So when the large magnet is moved close to the wings, the magnets on the wings are repelled causing them to close. To move the magnet, it is mounted to a servo motor using a 2" plastic drum. The servo faces perpendicular to the central vertical axis of the Butterfly’s body. The magnet is mounted on the edge of the drum so rotating the servo causes the magnet to move away from the Butterfly, which in turn lessens its effect on the wing.

All servos are connected to a single computer using an Arduino board. This opens the door for any number of possible control inputs for the Butterflies. For the installation at the McLeod Residence, we used a webcam mounted at the back of the room to look for movement in front of each butterfly. As visitors walk closer to get a better view, the Butterfly in the pedestal they approach begins to flap its wings. Since the Butterflies respond to movement, not presence, they soon settle down as the viewer stands still while watching, only to briefly flutter again when he or she walks away.

The pedestals are hollow so they can accommodate stepper motors and much larger rare-earth magnets. The stepper motor can be controlled via Processing and Arduino so that it can rotate the large magnet up towards the top of the pedestal. The polarity of the magnets on the Butterfly is such that the large magnet can push the smaller magnets away. Since the Butterfly wings are pinned to the pedestal, they take on the appearance of flapping.
