NUDE Modelsis a series of
design research conducted, exploring systems in nature deploying
advanced methods in design, computation and fabrication. Experimentation
striving towards innovation is the central pedagogoical and cultural agenda of
the art/architectural studio Nudes, founded by Nuru Karim. Nudes
operates within the realm of cross-disciplinary cultures of public-art,
architecture-urbanism and design optimisation powered by digital “making” tools
addressing larger networks of social, cultural and environmental.
NUDE Models explores systems innature/biomimetics, evolutionary computational design and digital fabrication processes which encourages the human body to explore space and time through a series of scales and physical constructs.These spaces test and titillate the sensory modes of human perception and experience thereby orchestrating avenues for discovery, surprise, provocation, rebellion and dialogue. The “models” argue for new forms of interaction between humans and three dimensional space triggered by design systems inherent in nature. These investigations range from exploring sine geometries inherent in ocean waves, topological mathematical surfaces and pattern formations in nature. These models / prototypes operate at varied scales and constructs ranging from skins, scuplture and spatial installations and are conscious of the human gaze set upon them thereby encouraging interaction and dialogue at a variety of scales. These models focus on the production of “art” as design research in the realm of object making, sculpture, public-art, installations, site-context, space, performance and sound powered by the digital.
Nude models are stripped bare
to reveal the true nature of "code" and "production"
processes that invites the viewer to cast their gaze on spatial hierarchies
that blur traditional boundaries between art, sculpture, installation-art and
architecture.
