Project 3 ; new version

I am making fifty rhino sketches and printing two more files out of that body. The model parts need to be glued down and touched up. So far the project is going along well. Looks cool and the sculptures pop out of color, texture, and shape throughout the piece. Very green.

The 3 prints within the piece will be monumental to say the least.

Project 3 is Project 2 reworked !@#

I will make a a model park to display my 3d prints (from project 2) as if they are monumental sculptures. Fake model trees, bushes, and grass will be the details and I am not yet sure if the sculptures will have a finish. I have one sculpture printed and I am working on the second (maybe 3). I am going to use wire mesh, paper mache, and moss green spray paint on the project to make hilly like features. This will be the most involved model I have ever attempted to create, and the financial investments are well worth it. I am excited to start working on the next steps. I feel my simple sculptural prints will take on new appearances when in the detailed model. The base will be plywood and I also have 12 inch gauze to experimant with for form and texture. I could use some small rocks also! The mini trees I purchased will make the prints look huge yet the prints are the smallest sculptures I have made to date. I am not sure about the glue I will use for the fine details. What and how it will work? I also have some sap green oil paint that could be used. The print that is done is a vertical pattern, and I think the second (maybe third) will be different, yet not a mass form, probably also linear. Creating my own sculpture park will be fun and aswesome to see how the sculptures would look in a large scale.

old PROJECT_ _ THREE

The following 4 videos will be the content projected, looped, and effected with isadora and a computer in my installation. I wanted different concepts for each video so the viewer goes to each projection and watches out of simple curiosity to see what is next. The videos were shot with my camera then converted to MOV, uploaded to Youtube, and then published to my blog. I tried to make the video easy to loop and they play in a cyclic manner. I am unsure what the effects will be for the videos. I will try and project 2 videos per projector; mask/main and mieter/tub. All the audio is interesting and if possible combining them may sound nice.I am enjoying video as a medium. Now i can focus on sensors and isadora........

Project Three

-blackbox /video carts/ projectors/ isadora/ audrino/ proximity sensors
-question; do i need two audrinos to run two images from one projector?
-no sound/ keeps viewer watching/ if sound would be music
-do not have to burn dvds just put on flashdrive then into isadora
-4 images; question should all videos be different or just looped in different time sequences?
-question; how far away will sensors react?
-hang sheets to shoot on/ or bring over parts of mutable white cube
-question to self; position of projectors?
-question; are proximity sensors necessary/ or just motion and isadora effect/ all video playing and then effects based on standing in front of each projection
-different isadora effect for each video projection
-shadow of viewer

Dimension 3D Printer in Action

3D Printing in action by 3D Creation Lab in Bristol, UK

NEW Project 2

Hi,

    I changed it up in the project 2 department. Now I am 3D printing a set of objects into a standing sculpture. I have been working in Rhino and I am trying to make sure all my shapes are touching. I would like the piece to stand on its own but if not I will customize a base. The piece consists of 7 spheres of different sizes stacked on top of one another. Very simple but I think a good start and the minimal aspect is appealing. I am aware of the $5 per cubic inch cost to print and I hope the piece is not that expensive . A gamble I am willing to make for the sculpture gods. The printer"s 9x9 inch capacity is small and the piece I am printing will only be around 7 inches but has line, curve, shape, and multiple dimensions jammed into the little package. I have not thought about a finish yet some color may be nice.
