Specifications and Constraints- Abstract Art

For my project I have chosen Abstract art in combination with skeletal structure of the biggest earth excavator in the world.

The following are the top 5 specifications that I have considered for the completion of my Artifact:

1. My artifact should feel like a robust solid piece structured together.

2. It should have dynamic feelings with various types of motion

3. ⁠Most of the motion should involve circular as well as oscillatory motion that are combined together in a single artifact.

4. ⁠The artwork should have structural integrity to handle all these motions together formed with various types of trusses and supporting beams.

5. Most importantly these motions will be controlled using only one input point for the motion, so that user can feel the whole experience.

Also, here are the top 5 constraints I would face in my project:

1. Designing a working and practical structure to implement my idea.

2. To build a robust structure which can withstand weight as well as conduct the intended motions without any failure.

3. For this project, I have decided to go with wooden sticks, glue, cardboard, wooden plank, and black paint as my primary supplies.

4. There is a big time constraint as each part has it own difficulties to construct, assemble and experiment so that all pieces should uniformly fit and work together.

5. Moreover, I have to be very cautious in the process of manufacturing the parts as the use of permanent glue is prominent and can cause a lot of mess.

With all the specifications and constraints considered I would move on with the necessary steps as mentioned in the timeline in the previous post for the completion of my project.
