Digital Experiment is a series of physical prototypes that utilize the capabilities of computational design tools, CNC machining technology, and an array of synthetic materials. Prior to the development of this technology, complex parametric geometries could not be easily calculated. Through the use and misuse of design and fabrication software we are able to bring back an intricate level of ornament previously achieved only by hand through skilled craftsmen and laborers. The aim is to build upon and develop original contemporary forms of ornament and graphics creating visual complexity and texture. Source

"A construction involving two pendulums, each suspended from a tower construction and connected through ‘drawing arms’ and moveable joints. A ballpoint pen resting on a drawing surface covered with paper is mounted at the point where the pendulums come together. The pendulums are set in motion by hand, and their movements are represented on the paper. The Drawing Machine serves to purposes: On exhibitions where the movements of the pendulums affect the entire room, and the experience engages the beholder’s body. While the rhythmic repetitions cause the beholder to pause, the drawing emerges on the paper. And as a tool where investigations on the relation between time and movement."
