Experiments in cardboard.
---
Been long time coming. Making Iopio light prototypes with found cardboard and electroluminescent wire (EW); favourites and eco materials. This system could have potential future uses for lightweight and cost effective art / design installations.
Two and three dimensions were built, effectiveness and typeface were assessed.
For example: Could carry in flight baggage; or source when I arrive... and replicate on an Indian beach? Using a pencil, knife, ruler and basic printed template.
Scarcity and cost of materials play an interesting part in this conversation.

> Point to note 01
The stacked cardboard idea could only hold so much weight when including the wire’s battery pack. Connecting side-by-side was preferable. (You can see the prototype buckling in the images).
> Point to note 02
Using 1 x metre lengths of wire for individual characters was more efficient than using 5 x metres for 5 x characters: long wires malfunctioned when bent / twisted too much.
> Point to note 03
Use the grain of the cardboard correctly.
> Point to note 04
Making connector sections
held individual characters together = best use of different template sizes and shapes of available cardboard.
These connectors an also act as a potential space between words and build freestanding / double-sided 3D structures.
All photos were shot on my Iphone 7.
