Wondermaterials / Quantum Mechanics

We experience a world ruled by the principles of classical physics. We can feel gravity, mass, acceleration, and observe the effects of surface tension or magnetism. Yet, the substances that surround us are made from waves and particles governed by alien rules that are completely incongruous with what we perceive. Sometimes, one thing is in two places at the same time, or perhaps everywhere all the time. Some substances behave differently if you are looking at them, and when you are not. Others interact with substances that could be kilometres away, what Einstein described as "spooky action at a distance".

In this year's digital fabrication module, we will attempt to give substance to these hidden phenomena, by creating lively physical representations of Impossible Materials that disobey the conventions of classical physics. Can they move backwards, and forwards through time? Do they split or merge universes? What possibilities exist for interaction between people and such exotic substances?

Students will create a sequence of 3D printed objects, to produce a stop-motion animation of their Impossible Materials in a real-world setting. This short animation will be supported by a brief text.
