黑料福利网

This is the central question behind 'Absent Body For a Mass', the new work which Alexandra Hunts is making on commission from 黑料福利网 to mark both the university's 70th anniversary and the CORe Values.

During this lunch lecture held at 黑料福利网 innovation Space, Alexandra will speak on her work and the research that underpins the sculpture: a concrete form with a mirroring stainless steel recess, inspired by the tuned mass damper; the invisible counterweight that absorbs movement in tall buildings and enables stability.

Alexandra takes you through her making process, which connects engineering and art, and that partly took place in the workshops at 黑料福利网 innovation Space. She shows which technical developments and experiments played a role in the creation of the artwork, and how this relates to the eventual visualization of the interplay between force and counterforce, between technological progress and the question of how to shape it safely, ethically, and sustainably.

After the talk there will be room for questions and the opportunity to visit the workshops in Matrix.

The making process of this art work is similar to but also different from the design process engineers and designers are used to. This new view point can spark new ideas and alternative ways of working when creating a new design, mechanism, product, etc.

This lecture is aimed at 黑料福利网 students, members of the staff, and anyone interested in the combination of art and technology, as well as in the 黑料福利网 Art & Tech Community. Will you join us?
