Project Idea

Concept:

To derive a physically present sculpture from virtual space by amalgamating tangible and procedural elements.

Project:

Kinetic Sculpture
This work will be an interactive installation/sculpture. On top of a pedestal will be a rotating disk with a simple motor at its center. The motor will control the rotational movement of the disk in proportion to a viewer’s movement. Attached to the disk at its edge will be a monitor displaying outwardly a digitally created three dimensional object. A small camera will be affixed below the monitor in order to track observers as they traverse the space. The monitor will rotate, effectively following the viewer displaying different angles/perspectives of the exhibited three dimensional object in real time.

Ideas for object:
Procedural abstract shape (All code)
? Religious iconography (Snow Crash)
2D image created from 3D colored blocks with different depths and lighting
3D constructed organic/rigid form (via Maya) with living characteristics (i.e. breathing, etc.)

...not sure if I am going to use this as the first 2 projects or if I am just going to use it as project 1.

I am working on some new project ideas...though I am not ready to post....will have those and some sketches up soon.

Ready to go!

Blog is up and running....more to come!
