Matter presenting at the Input-Output Symposium
Matter has been selected to present Periscope at the Input-Output Symposium. The symposium will be held at the Temple University Tyler School of Art on October 8 2010. In addition, both the Drawn Dress project and Periscope will be exhibited from October 6 - 16.
Introducing Periscope
Periscope is the winning entry in the 10up international competition. The competition brief requested a temporary installation to act as signage for the Modern Atlanta Event that could be installed in 24 hours in a plot 10'x10' and for less than $5,000. Matter in collaboration with Dave Pigram of Supermanoeuvre and Matt Johnson of SGH proposed to build a 50' tall foam tower. The tower went up in only 6 hours with the aid of Tierson Boutte of Boutte Tree.
Robotic Fabrication support donated by the FabLab at University of Michigan Taubman College of Architecture and Urban Planning
