Making the mechanism to make the forms

Abstract

SLIT was originally developed as a construction toy. At the same time, it is also a spatial model. In other words, it is a model of the “mechanism that creates shape”, and the form completed by the mechanism is not the work, but the “mechanism” itself is the work. Here, we first explain the formation of SLIT. and we will examine the relationship with modern abstract art and architecture, which was used as a prototype model for SLIT. In addition, while simultaneously verifying the model as a prototype and the meaning of its deformation, we explore the meaning of SLIT as a spatial model.
