Parametric Design furniture
August 20, 2023
Michaela Crie Stone lives and works in Rockport, Maine, where she creates pieces that push the parameters of function by blurring the lines between art, craft, and design.
Firewall is an interactive art installation created by Mike Allison and Aaron Sherwood. At first glance, the piece is somewhat unimpressive – a spandex sheet stretched over a large frame. But when switched on, this spandex sheet becomes a membrane that combines music, motion and metaphysics at the touch of a human hand. When untouched, the sheet shows orange-red lines running vertically across its surface. When the membrane is touched, the lines dance like fire, rippling in reaction to the movement of the user’s hand.
