MetaMods: Tool kits for Creativity
Student Work // 2010MetaMods were designed to engage the user's
creativity. They are modular toys and puzzles created to show how using a
simple set of inherent limitations can actually allow the user to experience
the accomplishment associated with creativity more
readily. The MetaMods are made up of four
sets: The Tetrad; a four piece block set which challenges the user to
find new and interesting things to build, Isotile; a set of tiles which when
place together form an isometric illusion, Box Type; cubes printed
with either a curve, contour, fill or blank which gives the user
endless possibilities for experimenting with figure and ground, Quarts;
a set of diamond blocks which fit together in impossible ways.
Accompanying the sets are a suite of brochures providing basic instructions.
