MOMENTUM - Prototype

Simulations and Prototype Design for Interactive Artwork

Working with United Visual Artists, I created simulations & prototype designs for their Momentum installation which featured in the Barbican's Curve gallery.  I used Cinema 4D to model and visualise the prototype, which I rigged with real world dynamics, creating an accurate simulation of the pendulum’s motion while swinging on its two axis. In the simulations, I aimed to create a visually interesting representation of the pendulums in motion. This focused on the mechanism design, the swinging pattern of a single pendulum and a group of pendulums.
