ABSTRACT

Inflexions is engaged in finding new approaches for design, involving coding and parametric design. In-flexions is a research unit developing digital applications for creating objects, spaces, services, and interactive installations, which was set up 2006 by Sonia Laugier and Francois Brument. The studio is involved in researching new approaches to design and fabrication, especially the possible unification of conception and fabrication steps in an object's design. By speaking loudly into the microphone, the visitor creates a larger vase; by speaking longer, they create a higher vase. KiLight is an interactive installation in which visitors can shape a light with their body. If they freeze for five seconds, the 3D file is recorded and the light can then be directly fabricated via 3D printing. In 2011 they developed "KiLight," an interactive installation in which visitors can shape their own versions of a 3D-printed pendant lamp through 3D and color scanning of their own bodies.
