bike tires?commonly not recycledprevalent in Haiti (used for strikes)easy to cut and shape!
bike tires were easy to manipulate, readily available and very durable!
Initial renders and research on
kid’s shoes made us focus on an easy fastening system and heel support.
In order to make a simple shoe I referred to medieval shoe templates to construct simple prototypes
original 3 models explored different ways to construct the shoe and address the fastening system.
inner liner = more structure
button clip just right!
one template,too weak
rubber opening, too fragile
3 templates, stronger
model iteration
first 3 models
Strapping wing eliminates shoelaces and provides large opening to easily slide foot.
An average of 8 soles can be made from a single tire

Materials
Custom button’s hook, inspired by Haiti’s geographic shape. Alternatives such as standard buttons or bent stainless steel buttons can also be used.

Pieces are packaged and shipped to rural manufacturing stations.
Pieces are assembled in rural manufacturing stations by local employees.
A portion of the shoes are distributed to school children and the remainder to the textile factory.
Shoes are sold in Haitian stores and around the world via the internet.
Materials are imported to the textile factories in Port-au-Prince.
The textile factories in Haiti provide adequate tooling and training. Shoes made for school children are given as charity while the remaining become an export.
Locals are hired in facilities established by the schools

SKIN REMOTEhow can a remote control adapt to you?
3 weeks [2010]foam modelinguniversal design
how can a remote control adapt to you?
idea:most control remotes are square.no buttons + wider surface area for interface = more tactile
A gentle slow was determined to work best for less stress
easy to pick upvs.
casing of recyclable plastictrackpad incorporated

operates on radial frequencyuses 2 AAA batteries
any part of the skin can be used to control.
the sensitive area reacts like a laptop track pad

How do you surprise a city with an aerial performance?[an interdisciplinary exercise at Kansas City, MO]
1 week [2011]Oscar Salguero, Zack Saunders, Kala Lettsguerrilla performance
The Air:light, gracefulmore fantastical
What about the air?
What’s the problem?
Brief: Design a guerrilla performance stage for aerial performersClient: Quixotic Fusion / KEM StudioLocation: Kansas City, MO
How can we keep the performer in the air without making it so obvious...
Aerial truss:lots of steel = very heavymagic of “flying” is lost
?
!!!
Can we challenge the performer, the technician and the audience?The idea of a balloon entices the air as the main point of support of the whole structure.All of a sudden the magic and radicalism of Quixotic Fusion finds a new form of expression, one much more otherworldly...
a big balloon?!
a beacon rises into the sky,changing the monotonous skyline and announcing something different, something unknown...”

Balloon + anchor points
Balloon + mesh

The tension against the mesh recreates the theatrical effect used by performers
Experiments using nylon stockings and a plastic ball to test the sculptural qualities of a balloon inside a mesh.
