EXHIBITION : THE ART OF FABRICATING TANGIBLE INTERFACES (2025)

THE ART OF FABRICATING TANGIBLE INTERFACES is a highly empowering course in Computer-Aided-Design (Autodesk Fusion 360) and Digital Fabrication (3D Printing, Laser-Cutting) where students embrace a set of design constraints to draw and fabricate tangible-interfaces that are flat, modular, flexible, foldable, parametric, and snap-fit.
The challenge is to design, test, iterate, correct, refine and "mass-produce" enough modules to beautifully cover a 1sq meter area with unic modules that interlock elegantly and seamlesly.
At the intersection of Fine Arts and Design, and offered as a Soft Skill course by Romain DI VOZZO at Fablab UPSaclay, The Art of Fabricating Tangible Interfaces is an opportunity to explore cutting-edge Contemporary Art practices and to investigate Cultural Patterns as means of expression. Romain will be assisted by his assistant Selen Pere.
At Fablab UPSaclay, students will also develop project-management skills, self-promotion narratives, a critical-design approach, and an online portfolio for their artworks. The course will reach its climax with a student exhibition.
