Transformer
Designed for the Lyon Bienalle and exhibited at MIT
Client: Piotr Kowalski (Lyon Bienalle)
Design: Michael Fox, Jeffery Krause
Fabrication: Michael Fox
The "transformer" is a structure which houses a computer exhibit and teleconferencing station. During the "off" hours, the object is closed in to a simple secure (theft-proof) pyramid. While functioning, the structure transforms into a framed shell for communication. The structure was designed to express the conceptual aspects of a project (for the 1996 Lyon Biennale) in reference to language and communication as constantly transforming systems with multiple encapsulated meanings.
