Description
THE SOLAR AIRSTREAM FAB LAB
DIGITAL SOGATA EXPOSITION + DEMONSTRATION
‘Sogata’ is an ancient Japanese clay molding technique that traditionally uses ‘sweeps’ to create ceremonial vessels in cast metal. It is a sustainable molding process that reuses materials.
Data Sculptor Pioneer Paul Higham has developed a series of ‘data sweeps’ shaped by emergent forms from Brain Waves and Tsunami data.
Sculptor Coral Lambert utilizes the ‘data sweeps’ to create ‘sogata’ clay molds which are then used to produce unique forms in cast iron.
The Fab Lab is located in a 1960’s Airstream which has been converted to harness solar energy.
