Fold Up Universes
FUU #1 — transparent paper A4, permanent pen, cigarette ash, cotton thread FUU #3 — plexiglass boxes, Arduino 2007 –
I was explaining one day to my partner various sci-fi theories about time travel (I recall reading a book called “The Science of Science Fiction”), the discussion went onto string-theory and led to a more in depth study of physics during the following months. Meanwhile I had been thinking about a quick time/space metaphor for paper, came up with FUU #1 and then the work took me to think at interactive sculptures or boxes with light, that I had already been trying to develop for some time. FUU #3 is being developed with plexiglass boxes and arduino cards. I’d love for large versions to be commissioned.
One of my FUU #1 papers was used for Giuliano Mesa’s “Nun” — ebook for GAMM.
A sample of the papers FUU #1: transparent paper A4, permanent pen, cigarette ash, cotton thread — they can be seen horizontally, vertically, holding them any way you want.
As soon as they’re ready I will show the FUU #3 boxes in relation with each other. Each box has some sort of interaction with its ambient which outputs a reaction or a modification of its status — for some it has to do with light, for others sound.
