A-cumulation

Festival Prototyp Brno, thermosensitive 3D printing, sound, collaboration with Andrea Uváčiková, 2021.

A kumulace Zuzana Bartošová, Andrea Uváčiková Installation A cumulation responds to the problems associated with a large population and the associated with warming of the planet. The installation directly responds to the presence of visitors. Objects have sensors which directly response to movement of visitors and they start to heat and change colour. The objects are printed from thermo-sensitive material and thus change color in directly to the number of visitors in the gallery, so everyone can influence the appearance of the objects with their presence. The installation does not solve the problems with global warming, it is just a statement or reflection on the accumulation of materials in space and the associated accumulation of heat. Simultaneously with the objects, there is a sound installation in the space, which represents the accumulation of sounds directly from the gallery. The device captures sounds from different places in the space, which it gradually stores, the sounds overlap and thus creates an accumulation of sounds. The visitor not only influences the appearance of the objects, but with his presence leaves a trace in the form of sound in the gallery. Objects are made out of 3D printed parts. Imperfections of prints are left as important visuals details. The size and appearance of the objects will be directly proportional to the funds obtained from potential sponsors or a gallery contribution. Objects are thus something unclosed that we can still complete as the environment in which we are living. They are based on the reflections on space and dwellings that we build, and they are free materializations of ideas about spatial solutions based on geometrized materials that ubiquitously surround us. We sense missing parts in objects, and without knowing them, we can imagine them.
