In class Eugene Shteyn was our guest professor/presenter and got the entire class to think critically of the work we were adventuring into for our final project. Our group has already taken drastic turns with our intentions, beginning with a water purification system, to now a sloth-like helio-bot. What was to come next we were not entirely expecting.
Throughout the day with Eugene Shteyn, we were all asked to question our projects and really try to discover the potential in the task as well as pull out issues which still needed to be addressed in order to make a stronger more innovative project. By the end of the day, we realized there was a lot to reconsider for our helio-bot in order to make it as successful as we wanted it to be.
After dwelling upon the outcome of our class period with Eugene Shteyn, the team reconvened, some wanting to move forward with the helio-bot, others wanting to take it back to the drawing board. Back to the drawing board we went.
The new proposals were a success. It would still include algae, and human interaction, but would manifest itself in a new form. No longer a robot, per say, but an "installation" sculpture of sorts. Its overall implications and purpose were still unclear, but we knew it would involve more closely parametric modeling, digital fabrication, algae, and human interaction. All of these were ideas we professed interest in at the very start of the project.
