the schmelzolan series

the schmelzolan workshop combines the creation of plastic forms with the overheadbots. schmelzolan is  plastic granulat that melds into transparent plastic , it was very popular in the 70 for creating window decoration, belt-buckles, brooches and more. it is a reference to the early diy-tinker culture.  combined with a suneater you create kinetic schmelzolan objects that move when light hits the solar panel.
