Hasta La Ideas

You saw their gallery of kettle explorations last week, but there’s more. Students at the Shenkar College of Art and Design in Tel Aviv have sent us another set of innovative experiments, this time dealing with materials and connections.

This work comes from the IDEA course Experimental Connections, taught by Barak Asher. The class focused on “the many potential technologies and materials that can be reassembled to create new meanings” and then asked students to develop their own connections through a process of physical exploration.

Pictured above are “Pinch” by Emi Schenkelback (researching the effect of metal pins on a soft textile), “Squashed and Broken” by Yuri Movshovich (embedding a polymer joint into wood) and “Slope” by Yuval Star (a balloon exploration of blowing glass into molds).

A lot more pics, projects and descriptions after the jump.
