ATLAS BUTTERFLIES – KINETIC INSTALLATION

Worked on the Atlas Butterflies project with artist Marie-Luce Nadal, an upcoming exhibition (2026) combining artistic design and engineering innovation.

Project Overview

  • Designed and prototyped innovative structures blending mechanical and electronic elements with artistic vision.
  • Material selection & rapid iterations to optimize performance and aesthetics.
  • Mechanical/electronic integration, testing, and documenting assembly procedures.
  • Collaboration with creative and technical stakeholders, coordinating tasks and sharing progress.
  • Delivered a final functional prototype, demonstrating a seamless integration of design and engineering.

Outcome

Gained hands-on experience across the full development cycle, from concept to working prototype, enhancing both technical and creative skills in a collaborative environment.
