As Hermes is the Messenger of the Gods, he needs to be represented in forms of communications.
Mailbox
Opening and closing of a hinged door on a mailbox conveying a message transfer.
Doorway
The most basic form of communication, a door way. Also acting on a hinge.
Castle door
Following the combination of the mailbox and door- creates a drawbridge mechanism.
The scroll controlled within the frame will move upwards via a stepper motor, and down via gravity. This is due to the axles of the scroll being controlled within the geometry of the frame.
Bell
A reception bell which is compressed to trigger a noise. Transfer of energy into noise creates communication.
Letter
The letter acts upon the hinge of the doorway, but with the addition of the bell as for a notification or ding noise received via email.
Scroll
The combination of both the time period of draw bridges uses as well as the form of a letter.
The Large Scale frame was aimed to advertise a singular face of text or illustration. Able to be seen either side.
The angled ceiling frame was exploring the use of ceilings to create interesting geometry as well as displaying downwards, forcing viewers to look up and examine in detail.
Multiple miniature frames hung from the ceiling aimed to counterweight one another as they glided upwards and downwards with motion, creating verticality in a vertical space
The circular pedestal was created with the intention of the viewers being able to directly interact with the installation, 3600 access.
Scroll will be able to move as counterweights for one another, meaning that in the mezzanine space, scrolls and frames will be extending and retracting constantly which creates a connection with the viewer.
