8

2023; 8 interactive objects; 3d print and roller bearing, 10x5x2cm
Produced with the support of SAHA Foundation during the SAHA Studio program.

Inspired by finger fidgeters, “8” is made out of a set of eight distinct 3d printed toys, in which new words can be made with a random selection of letters. Combining Turkish and English alphabets, the project uses 32 letters to make up 3-lettered words. A vowel is constant in the middle, and two disks on either side are spun to make up a new word.

A set includes 8 toys, distinct in color and the wovel in the middle: A, E, I, İ, O, Ö, U, Ü.
Each day 4 out of 8 toys are selected randomly to be exhibited in the space.
