CoConch • Seamless Digital Materiality

CoConch – Seamless Digital Materiality

CoConch – Seamless Digital Materiality continues the series of robotic experiments started in 2012 focusing on additive processes and the exploration of digital materiality at the REX|LAB of the University of Innsbruck. The installation was 3D-printed on-site in a scale of 1 : 1 during the exhibition period of the Potenzial 3 at the aut in Innsbruck from October 2021 to February 2022. The robot was put into operation several days a week during opening hours, so that visitors could observe both the actual structure and the fabrication process. The structure reacts both to the temporary exhibition floor in which it is anchored as well as to the maximum reach of the robot in use, while proving that even with a small mobile robot a much larger space can be (trans-) formed.
