Mutation, <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Postures, Deformations, and Contortions,<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> would be injected into the rigged sidekicks. This step would provide feedback and yield aspects and opportunities to expand in the physical environment. \u00a0<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The goal is to produce a series of studies in which students are asked to evaluate their Riggs from the design point of view, with the goal of critically understanding the variations produced using animation techniques. \u00a0\u00a0<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Step 2: Assemblies: Physical assemblies produced using digital fabrication methods such as laser cutting, CNC milling, and 3d printing would be employed as the skeletons migrate from the digital environment into a physical table. Taking advantage of the flexibility of this system and its tendency for disruption, students are expected to rearrange, reposition and reconstruct their project to test the limits of the systems they have created and to quickly react to the feedback generated by this transitions.\u00a0<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Step 3. Linking and expressions.\u00a0<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The Final output would not only rely on the visualization of the behavior but would also introduce dynamic skeletons to recreate and investigate such behavior in physical models. With a link between Arduino and Maya to control servos linking them to skeleton joints, students could expand their design criteria in an investigation of the physicality and materiality of their projects as the translation from the computer to their desk would take place, allowing them to compare and overlay the digital and the physical. This juxtaposition would generate a tension in which student would examine the results, catalog them and insert them back to their digital models to inform and reiterate the process.<\/span><\/em><\/p>\n<p><em><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Students: Majeda Alhinai, Polina Alexeeva, Ana Derby, Anhuar Farah, David H<span style=\"color: #6b6b6b;\">o, Vermouth Hu,\u00a0<a class=\"wta vF\" href=\"https:\/\/plus.google.com\/u\/0\/109194153419145642664?prsrc=4\" oid=\"109194153419145642664\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" style=\"color: #6b6b6b;\">Alexander Kallioras<\/a>,\u00a0<a class=\"wta vF\" href=\"https:\/\/plus.google.com\/u\/0\/107167938307070858084?prsrc=4\" oid=\"107167938307070858084\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" style=\"color: #6b6b6b;\">Charmaine Lam<\/a>,\u00a0<a class=\"wta vF\" href=\"https:\/\/plus.google.com\/u\/0\/112792748422512209728?prsrc=4\" oid=\"112792748422512209728\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" style=\"color: #6b6b6b;\">Hongyang-Stanley Lin<\/a>,\u00a0<\/span><a class=\"wta vF\" href=\"https:\/\/plus.google.com\/u\/0\/109320204300558033850?prsrc=4\" oid=\"109320204300558033850\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span style=\"color: #6b6b6b;\">Matias Lopez, Sara Milani, Gurhan Pekuz, Junjie Gu<\/span>o.<\/a><\/span><\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>\u00a0<\/em><\/p>[\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][\/et_pb_section]\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>SCI-Arc Summer 2016 Applied Studies Mechanical Sidekicks&#8221;Strange companions&#8221; Prof. Ivan Bernal\u201cA sidekick is a slang expression for a close companion or colleague (not necessarily in fiction) who is actually, or generally regarded as, subordinate to the one he accompanies\u201dIn many cases, a sidekick\u2019s role is to serve as an enabler, that, which encourages and motivates [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":0,"parent":0,"menu_order":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"page-template-blank.php","meta":{"_et_pb_use_builder":"on","_et_pb_old_content":"","_et_gb_content_width":"","advanced_seo_description":"","jetpack_seo_html_title":"","jetpack_seo_noindex":false,"jetpack_post_was_ever_published":false,"footnotes":""},"class_list":["post-1659","page","type-page","status-publish","hentry"],"jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"jetpack_shortlink":"https:\/\/wp.me\/P99zzR-qL","jetpack_likes_enabled":true,"jetpack-related-posts":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/ivanbernal.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/pages\/1659","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/ivanbernal.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/pages"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/ivanbernal.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/page"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/ivanbernal.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/3"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/ivanbernal.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=1659"}],"version-history":[{"count":10,"href":"https:\/\/ivanbernal.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/pages\/1659\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":3335,"href":"https:\/\/ivanbernal.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/pages\/1659\/revisions\/3335"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/ivanbernal.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=1659"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
