Mixed Tape
BA Design Warm-Up – Foundation Course
2023
semester
“Mixed Tape” is the title of this model making workshop which focused on elaborate techniques of modelling with corrugated 4 mm cardboard and applying them into one’s own imaginary world in a final accurate model. Starting with a short individual investigation on musical instruments, we were asked to choose at least two instruments, merge them and morph into one “new imaginary instrument” that should ideally be synergy of the two ‘parents of origin’.
The real challenge was that the new instrument had to be playable as a whole, while retaining the characteristics of the individual instruments, such that they too could be played separately!
