Flummox Team In Progress

Tirelessly working on the Flummox installation, the [R]ed[U]x Lab team was able to secure some space to get the project manufactured and assembled in time for the big install. As you can see in the photos, the number of hours crimping, wiring, and heating components began to mount up but it surely will be worth it in the end.

Design and Production Commences on Grow Op 2014

Despite the opening of the Grow Op 2014 show coinciding with the frenetic and stressful end of term at Ryerson University's Department of Architectural Science, members of the [R]ed[U]x Lab are always up for a challenge. After all, what better way to relieve studio stress than breathing in laser cutter fumes or manual labor? Of course pizza tends to make manual labor worthwhile...

In addition to the laser cut acrylic infrastructure, the group has also been preparing clippings of aggressive ivy to integrate into the design. Unfortunately the initial idea of using spider plants, Chlorophytum, had to change given the physiology and desired tropism behaviours for this project.
