Compulsion to Blog Episode 08

When researching 'fluidity' and 'juxtaposition' I came across this guy called Emmanuel Babled. He believes that a "good project is born through direct contact and physical presence in the territory of its production". Babled's process is to observe the materials and techniques of production and to gain an understanding of the social conditions, from which he develops his own innovative, personal techniques.

Babled's use of glass as a medium captures fluidity beautifully. The coffee table looks like it could be made of water captured in time. I found the curves drew my focus around the objects in a far 'softer' way than any cut corners or points did and I think this is a major attribute that needs to be present for fluidity.
