The grogger is a traditional Jewish musical instrument, also known as noisemaker, rachet, or ra'ashan. The grogger is used traditionally during the reading of the story of Purim (A Jewish holiday). Every time the name of "Haman" is mentioned- the grogger makes noise. That is because Haman wanted to persecute the Jews, and the noise of the grogger is supposed to drown out his name. The generative grogger is a modern uptake of the traditional grogger that reflects a combination of traditional customs with modern days design and manufacturing technologies.
The generative grogger designed for "Rash Rash Rash: Contemporary Noisemakers of Bezalel School" exhibition in Enrico Stranger Judaica Museum, Tel Aviv. This exhibit made in collaboration and under the guidance of Prof. Ezri Tarazi.
Generative Design (GD) is a new field in the design world. In the GD process, the designer defines forces and constraints are on various components of the design, and AI analysis suggests a cloud of possible solutions to connect them based on an advanced algorithm that includes in the calculations material, manufacturing method, the defined constraints, and forces, and more.
GD, together with 3D printing, is a significant enabler for new kinds of art, unique, organic forms, and a new way of thinking about traditional objects.
