APD_Week5 play&force

theme: play and force 

In response to the theme of play and force, I create a model and try to make the force visualization. 

Context 

for this theme, I create a model and aim to “make the force visualization”. In this model, I try to keep the process of the forces.  
My idea was come from the “kinetic sculpture”. In the class, we watch some of kinetic work, I was interested with these artist, so I find more information about them. I got a concept from this series of works that is “relate to the motion of materials bodies”, I think of it as the  “visualization”. 
I looking for some kinetic art work, for example: Ralfonso’s kinetic wind sculpture “magic tree”(2012). these works moved by wind. his work was always interact with the power which come from the environment and has the principles of mechanics. 
Also I watched some final year project from other school. They create some works with Touch Designer and physical models, they use another way to realize the visualization of the force. like the visualization of the sound and pressure. 
Force was an unenviable thing, they using some way to make them reveal their feature or help viewer to perceiving the force.  
For my work, I want to focus on force’s process. I will keep and record it by the model.

Method 
1.making a box
2.Fixed some sticks in the box 
3.find a little object witch could sliding in the box 
4.Tied a the object at the end of the string
5.Fixed the other side of the string in the box 
6.shaking or flip the box

Reflection:
after I finishing the outcome and test,I think the concept of the visualization was working, but the model of this experience has defects. 
Because of the time limit, the model was very rough, and the conception of this model was not enough. When I shaking the box, I notice the object was affected by many force. people’s hand,string, gravity… in this model it has too much “force” could influence the object’s movement. So the final outcome cannot make the force’s visualization very clearly and accurate.
I should consider the effect from these force or exclude their influence.
