Movie Machine 0.2 "Magic Lamp" work in progress

With Movie Machine 0.2 “Magic Lamp” we wanted to experiment integration between 3d printing (handicraft, customization) and industrial production (universal, standard)

as an Iphone cover, we imagined an app(lication) for an ikea lamp “Magnarp”

we imagined an integration also on the technique and then here melted pla is not used just to create an object, but it has to be integrated with paper, in order to give structure and precision to folds and holes

we also tried to reduce costs and production time by using products as straws to produce our bars

in this first experimentation step, we choose the 16 symbols of alchemy, as archetypes of collective unconscious, following Jung … “playing” with the idea of Tibetan prayers rolls …

for this prototype, we are not using prayers moving with rolls, but a symbolic code that “accidentally” compose itself in archetype combinations, able to awaken a magic unconscious given by movements and position of the observer
