Noa Mori —
Machover
Hi, I’m Noa (she/they). I’m an artist, writer, designer, researcher, synthetic biologist, and organizer. I’m fascinated by urban political ecologies, socio-technical-ecological systems, and futurist animisms. I dream of expansive futures not flattened by a colonial conception of the future as a fixed destination to be controlled.
I am a lo-fi bedroom-synth pop producer and a bioplastic designer/engineer/environmental strategist.
You can reach me by email, and find me on instagram and are.na.
Transformation Study
A study on architectural projection and the transformation of form through shadow. The sculptural piece was created through a combination of impulsive and calculat- ed decision-making. The sculpture was then measured and drawn, mathematically projecting the cast shadow of the hanging slabs in isometric projection. I then created a small model of the sculpture and used a light source to cast and record the shadow path with the light at three distances.
