Math Monday: Mathematical art in the lava

수학의 도형을 이용한 작품..

Edmund Harris created this geometric sculpture on a 35 year old lava field in Iceland. It can be understood as a simple form composed of equilateral triangles, but the curved edges where the triangles hinge together soften the geometry, giving it a more organic character.

The plywood parts are hinged, so they can be easily disassembled and rearranged. Edmund credits this construction system to Richard Grimes, and gives detailed fabrication instructions here. He hopes that others will find this to be an easy way to get started making large mathematical constructions.

sweatshoppe: video painting

단순한 원리지만 기막힌 아이디어..

 

우리 어릴적  스케치북에 크레파스로 그림을 그리고 검정색으로 전부 칠한다음

날카로운 송곳으로 스크래치를 내어 표현했던 것과 같은 원리..

 

 

 

 

 

the landing, 2009

previously we wrote an article on french design aissa logerot who developed 'halo' an
LED light spray. now, sweatshoppe has taken this LED technology to the streets on a different level.
the collective made up of video artist bruno levy and blake shaw who are also multimedia performers,
use video mapping techniques as a means of video painting onto walls through the use of
a paint roller. the only catch is, the paint roller doesn't actually paint anything onto the wall.
instead it is made from green LEDs which work in conjunction with a camera next to a projector
which is programmed with software that tracks its movements. the software then outputs
the X-Y position of the roller projecting a textured video image of the strokes the duo are
drawing on a wall. this interactive technology allows them to explore the relationship between video,
mark making and architecture.

joshua kirsch: ACP donor wheel

joshua kirsch 의 또하나의 작품..

 

보면 볼수록 내공이 대단한 사람임..

 

commissioned by the arts council of princeton, the ACP donor wheel by joshua kirsch
is a permanent sculpture which recognizes the institution's donors. housed in the rotunda
of the paul robeson center for the arts in princeton, new jersey, the motorized disk has about
2000 names which are loosely grouped by first letter of the donor's last name.
accompanying the sculpture is a control panel with buttons of each letter of the alphabet
(excluding Q and X). when someone wants to find a particular name, they can push the
corresponding first letter of the name on the panel. the wheel then turns and stops at the
section displaying names with that requested letter, backlighting those names with LEDs
to highlight them.

SonUmbra Solar Powered Tree Lights up the Night

As advancements in lighting technology unveil fresh materials, we’re thrilled to see designers exploring new ways to light up the night. SonUmbra is a solar-powered tree composed of strands of light-emitting fabric woven into a lucent web of branches. The installation’s canopy of photovoltaic panels captures light during the day, and once the sun sets the tree blooms in an interactive flourish of light and sound.

We were thrilled to catch a glimpse of SonUmbra at this year’s London Design Festival, where its beautiful glow signaled a bright future for energy-efficient lighting. Designed by Loop.pH, the “sonic shade of light” is intended to be “planted” in remote areas, where it offers shelter from the sun by day and serves as a gathering place for the local community at night.

The installation is constructed from a light emitting fabric that is crafted into a lattice of electroluminescent fibers. As passerby move around the solar tree, the installation strikes up an interplay of light and sound that encourages interaction. According to loop.PH, “This latticed pattern is animated in concert with the generated surround sound and visually illustrates the visitors’ position within the constellation. Wandering unaware or actively gravitating towards Sonumbra each person plays a part and becomes a note in a unique composition of light, sound and space.”
