Design project by Dana Zelig explores concept of programmable materials, turning flat polystyrene sheets into three dimensional forms, designed with the Processing programming language:
I had chosen this subject in order to explore the intresection of graphic design and objects. In this context, I developed 12 processed-folding object lines, using digital tools and inkjet printing - inkjet printing is used on flat sheets to create materials that can form self-folding 3D structures upon exposure to light. These techniques are used systematically to explore spatial, structural & geometrical conditions, leading to the emergence of abstract prototypes. In this project, I study a new concept for a self-folding system.
