Infinity Curve

Jamie Oh & Olga Damour




Task: Making a creature with plastic and arduino with servo motors and led lightings, inspired from nudibranch.
Nudibranch: A seaslug which lives in deep ocean. It has fancy appearance but odor to protect them from predators.







Concept

We analysed about nudibranch, and we found two representive features. First one is that it lives in deep ocean which is one of less researched areas, second is that it has fancy appearance but at the same time, odor to protect from predators. We got an inspiration from these features and wanted to express 'mystery' by showing the contrast like its appearance.

When I look in the myterious thing, it also looks me, showing its world.

Mechanism
