Fluid Forms and John Briscella
2008

Fluid forms are a company that allow customers to design their own unique furniture. The customer can enter their own postcode, or a postcode of their choice and zoom in and out until they are happy with the final placement. The data is then sent to a laser cutter, which cuts out the clock face from a sheet of acrylic or wood.
I think this is hugely relevant to my own work. During the Sampling unit I will be learning how to operate the laser cutter, and it's definitely something I would like to use within my work. I also believe it's relevant as the sampling project is based on mapping.
I really like this piece as it's very accurate and the lines and shapes reflect something personal to each person, as it's of their home town, or somewhere they enjoy visiting.
The clock is very linear, and made up of lines and curves.
