Epic Floating Head

We decided to participate in the event with something huge and exciting, that would attract the crowds attention from far away. We worked through several ideas and concepts, and finally we decided to build a giant head structure that depicted the clash of styles with the use different masks based on ancient cultures.

Working through different ideas for the shape of the head. We wanted a head that had hard angles, so it would be interesting to map on, but simple enough that it would be easy to build.

We started with a scale model to run some tests. From there we printed and tiled each piece from the face at the scale we wanted it and use them as guides to cut each panel of the structure.
