Post-Digital
by Lucas Maassen, a lecturer of design at the ICT & Media Design department of the Fontys University of Applied Sciences:
The Brain Wave Sofa, top, “is a representation of a 3 second wave of Alpha brain activity captured with a 3d EEG…From the 3d-EEG the file got directly milled in foam by a 3d milling machine and then upholstered in felt by hand.” Also pictured is the 3-micron, platinum Nano Chair, manufactured at electron microscopy company FEI, a theoretical exploration in the same category as his Alternate Reality Chair, where he investigated the point that furniture “becomes real” by listing and selling CAD models of furniture on e-bay.
And, finally, he’s also written a script to make analogue furniture, “back engineering the digital revolution” with instructions like “every material can only be used once.” Beta output from this process can be seen below, but look for more pieces from the Script Furniture series later this year.
