Project description

Conversation with the Masters” is a Media-Installation that attempts to convey the messages and the

philosophy of the Bauhaus masters while exploring the dialogical possibilities between humans and machines. We started by researching the masters of the Bauhaus, and the locations of their most iconic works. We select the founder of the Bauhaus; Walter Gropius and one iconic master/professor; Oskar Schlemmer for the first stage of the project.

The challenge was, how to abstract the personality and characteristics of different characters, and reincarnate them in a physical form. To do that, we choose iconic characteristics of the style of the two characters that we selected to be our reference in designing a physical form of the installation.;

-Walter Gropius, with his style of square and straight lined shapes, the use of wood, metal, and glass in his work.

- Oskar Schlemmer, with his ideas around the ballet the movement and shapes represented in the

fabric that goes through the different layers of the installation.
