IN OUR 2 WEEK WORKING PERIOD AT the Fabriek IN EINDHOVEN SALVIS SLAVISENS AND I CHOSE TO WORK ON OUR COLLABORATIVE PROJECT TO MAKE AN INTERACTIVE, KINETIC SCULPURE.
WE WANTED TO LEARN FROM EACH OTHERS METHODS AND CREATE SOMETHING KINETIC THAT COULD ENGAGE THE PUBLIC IN A PLAYFUL WAY.

EVERY EVENING WE HAD A PERFORMATIVE INTERACTION WITH THE WING, AS WE STARTED TO CALL IT, TO CREATE A RELATIONSHIP WITH THE OBJECT AND SEE WHERE IT COULD USE IMPROVEMENT.

THESE INTERACTIONS CAUSED ITS BASIC MECHANISM TO BREAK DOWN FROM AN EARLY START. HENCE, WE HAD TO FIGURE OUT HOW TO FIX AND REVIVE OUR OBJECT.

THE WING STARTED OUT WITH THREE SEPERATELY SPINNING PARTS, WHICH WE CONNECTED TOGETHER TO MAKE 1 COMPLETE WING.
WE ENFORCED THE WING'S BASE, SO IT WOULD NOT SPIN TOO FAST.
AS A SUPRISE EFFECT, WE ATTACHED AN ELASTIC CORD THAT WOULD MAKE THE WING SWING BACK IN IT'S OPPOSITE DIRECTION.
THIS IS HOW OUR Bič Slap Wing CAME TO LIFE.
