syllabus / setup

Our intention for this class is to experiment how different material, pattern, resolution, number of layers going to distort a single image or dynamic animition physically. The main material we are going to expriment is arcylic strip which has a lot of potential to bend, reflect, refraction light in order to distort image in different resolution. The process is as below :

THE PIXELATE EFFECT OF DIFFERENT PATTERN PANELS BEND THE LIGHT

Different pattern bend light differently, such as strength of the light, blur.... and the most important effect-pixelate image

These pattern created base on the same resolution in order to compare with each other.

real world constraints - Pattern stacking / Light division

layered realities

Stacking panels of different patterns with robot arm and test with single panel different distance from light source and mutiple panel, different angel, or distance

real world constraints - image quality, resolution

Developing wider range of patterns and panels

Base on the knowlege of the experiments before with single light sourse, moving forward by utilising projector replace the light. Start with projection a single image.

1.1

layered realities

A single image projection base on the same pattern with different distance different angle and position. And generating different pattern and resolution on order to experiment.

create a complax pattern combination wall to project on. The difference between transparent arcylic strips and the strip which was block one side is interesting and create a different resolution

Panel to object / Image to animation Start to testing mapping the surface of the object and generate a color division pattern project on the transparent acrylic object in order to find out what kind of resolution we get after project though the object

3.2

layered realities

Object design --- a more complax object which contain 3d printing (which represent the solid part) , transparent arcylic patterns and different side block arcylic patterns.

All the parts of the whole model -- different parts need different tech to produce.
