N2 - The paper presents a suspended tensegrity "cloud" structure as an interactive art installation with computer vision. Actuated by 12 pneumatic rubber muscles, the research discusses the design, engineering and fabrication challenges of a dynamic tensegrity "cloud". Through material testing and physical prototyping processes, the design workflow enables a cross-disciplinary approach to the problems with feedback and an iterative static analysis approach. The project demonstrates a cross-disciplinary design collaboration between artists, architects, engineers, and the fabricator towards refinement in the engineering of dynamic structures. Using a pneumatic actuation system combined with tensegrity structures, the project demonstrated a method to develop active, controlled, deployable and form-changing envelopes and structures on a larger scale.
