As the name suggests, Assembly was a project based on the mixing of contradictory music genres, and stylings. Following this theme, Studio Rat fabricated a variety of inflatables that became the common stylistic thread throughout the series, as they incited interaction from the artists in each video. This project was an opportunity to experiment with different pneumatic compositions and materials including various colours of LDPE sheeting and mylar. Each video presented its own challenges, textures, transparency and beauty.
