Xs is a shape-changing user interface with high expandability and customizability based on reconfigurable interactive scissor mechanisms. With Xs Sculpture, we explore how such mechanisms can create 3D forms as kinetic sculpture, morphing into various kinetic artifacts. As various shapes emerge to replicate (un)familiar shapes, it aims to stimulate our imagination and perception towards shapes and objects. This work ultimately explores the relationship of ourselves and reality, by simulating and playing with our perception of reality.
