Threading Space: Kinetic Sculpture Exploring Spatial Interaction Using Threads In Motion

Published: 23 June 2024 Publication History

Abstract

Threading Space is a kinetic sculpture that explores how spatial perception can be transformed by dynamically and geometrically reconfiguring physical lines of thread. As the threads in motion interact, they become a hypnotic medium for three-dimensional patterns. Through a physical installation and an interactive GUI, Threading Space invites the audience to explore the potential of using swarm robots and line elements to create, morph, and interact with space.
