skeletal toolbox [in progress]
a skeletal carcass adds to the main volume. it goes partly through the shell and braces it as well as it builds a cage around it which fullfills the following functions: buffer; framework of the technical elements such as tank, turbines, mounting brackets and running of cables; hydraulic system to move, open and close variable parts.
due to its functional character the skeleton follows the technoid formal vocabulary of robotic elements and digs into the flesh like surgical instruments.

regarding material qualities, translucency and skeleton
the interior is not static and rigid but flexible and reactive - when in use electronic impulses skulpt the material. the monolithic pieces shape the resin-like shell and result in different material thicknesses. there are no windows or whatsoever - to the observer the nature of the inside remains hidden. only the translucency of the shell and play of light, shadows and silhouttes link the in- and the outside.
