Stop Motion
The relationship between envelope and “moving object” that I explored was related to the complementary of shapes, paths and openings. The
moving shape is devised in a way that allows it to reveal four distinct sides
of its surface when it complements a respective opening within the envelope:
when viewed from the interior shell of the envelope, the moving object pops
into the volume through different openings that give the former a distinct appearance
each time.
The outer shell of the envelope is refined and smoothed to
work with the linear motion of the object. Depending on the path and
orientation of the “moving object”, the envelope provides canals with different
cross sections to complement the different sides of the object that may be in
contact with the surface.
Three triangular planes (or “buffer zones”) are allocated
between the four primary surfaces of the outer shell, allowing the “moving
object” a relay point to reach any given opening. Within these relay points, the
object is rotated along its local longitudinal or lateral axis (or both),
allowing it to fit and travel through the other canals that are connected to
that triangular relay point.
