Unit 14

It's about three months late, but just stumbled across these pictures I forgot to post...

The Summer Show took place at the Slade School of Fine Art between June 25 – July 3 this year. Unit 14's contribution looked a lot like this:

BD Online published this video of the show just as it opened:

Reactive vertebrae is a biomimetic series of mehanical sculptures which react to the atmospheric conditions around them. A series of dangling, spine-like forms inhabit an area, and, like a flower, position themselves to follow the sun’s movements over the course of a day. Prototypes mimic a variety of animal mechanisms, such as woodlice and snakes.

UCL published this video as a celebration of the Bartlett Summer Show. It's been showing on the front page of their website for the past week.

Godot Machine is a device to hold an ant in one place for as long as possible. It is the first in a series of investigations and installations by Ollie Palmer as part of the Physical Virus project. See more at the Physical Virus website.

Carnovsky is an Italian design studio. For Milan Design Week this year, they produced an exquisite range of prints whose appearance changes according to the light shining upon it. A trio of patterns are printed on the same sheet in red, green and blue, which reveal themselves in full when the corresponding colour light is shone upon them.
