Ngo_ET Algorithm 02

PLEASE READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS FIRST.

IT IS IMPORTANT TO MAINTAIN AS BEST AS POSSIBLE THE SHAPE OF THE CHIPBOARD THAT IS MODIFIED BY THE TOOL.

YOU MAY STACK THE MODIFIED CHIPBOARD AS YOU DESIRE PROVIDED THAT IT IS STRUCTURALLY STABLE.

1. Take a pre-cut strip of chipboard that is provided. With the strip of chipboard, shape and bend it using the tool provided by inserting it in the tool (See example). You may shape up to a maximum of 2 strips

2. Determine how you would like to place the modified piece on to the scaffolding. Make a tick mark where you would like for it to hinge onto the scaffolding (You will use this reference line to notch the strip).

3. Notch the strip (see example) using the knife so that it will be able to be secured onto the scaffolding that is provided. REMEMBER TO MAINTAIN ITS SHAPE AS BEST AS POSSIBLE.

4. Stack the notched strip of chipboard on to the scaffolding OR other modified strips of chipboard


The result of the final artwork was not exactly how I envisioned it. I expected that the stacking would be more orderly and would create a more organized tower. Instead the stacking overflowed and created an object that flowed through space randomly. Chipboard as the choice of material did not hold it shape as I thought it would, as a result the chipboard resisted to shape the 90-degree angles and warped the model. Overall structurally the model did hold together successfully.
