interdisciplinary workshops
Christoph Brach, Raw Color
Wind Things
Only for masters students
The aim of the workshop is to create a graphic object that interacts with wind and will be able to generate energy. During the workshop the participants will develop their own Wind Thing. These objects should unite the artistic appearance of a kinetic object with the function of a small scale wind turbine.
We will start to make simple test with colour, pattern, shapes and rotation. They should influence each other to create a unity. From there you will chose the design that works best. Together we will develop a working prototype that is able to rotate and generate electricity.
The world is looking for solutions in the energy transitions. Big scale wind turbines are often unwanted due to their size and appearance. Beautifully designed small scale wind turbines could become an addition of wind energy for private context.
The work of Raw Color reflects a sophisticated treatment of material and colour by mixing the fields of graphic design and photography. This is embodied through research and experiments, building their visual language. Daniera ter Haar & Christoph Brach work on self initiated and commissioned projects in their Eindhoven based studio.
