As talked about in class, the major issue I was facing was how I was going to actually attach the sets of four triangles together into square pyramids. We had discussed my concerns with soldering, mainly that the tips of each triangle were a weak spot that might crack with the applied heat of a soldering iron. Additionally, we talked about several epoxies and glues; however, I finally decided that I would simply use copper tape to tape the triangles together. I liked the look of the copper tape that was already attached the glass in preparation for soldering, so I thought that continuing to use this would be perfect and would mitigate the risk involved in heat or solvent based fusing techniques.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_779\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-779\" style=\"width: 377px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-779\" src=\"http:\/\/www.joshuarosenstock.com\/teaching\/lightart-a18\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/7\/2018\/10\/IMG_20181003_215053-800x600.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"377\" height=\"283\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.joshuarosenstock.com\/teaching\/lightart-a18\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/7\/2018\/10\/IMG_20181003_215053-800x600.jpg 800w, https:\/\/www.joshuarosenstock.com\/teaching\/lightart-a18\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/7\/2018\/10\/IMG_20181003_215053-768x576.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.joshuarosenstock.com\/teaching\/lightart-a18\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/7\/2018\/10\/IMG_20181003_215053-1024x768.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.joshuarosenstock.com\/teaching\/lightart-a18\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/7\/2018\/10\/IMG_20181003_215053-400x300.jpg 400w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 377px) 100vw, 377px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-779\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Taping Process<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>Once taped together, the structures actually hold up pretty well and I&#8217;m not concerned about breaking them with normal handling. After a lighting test, I decided I needed to make a box to hide the wires and to make everything self-contained and neat. While I couldn&#8217;t totally avoid the need to open the box to power the LEDS (because the box was too thick), I decided I was okay with that, as for display, it would be always &#8220;on&#8221; and there would be no need to open the box to get to the switch.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_780\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-780\" style=\"width: 414px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-780 \" src=\"http:\/\/www.joshuarosenstock.com\/teaching\/lightart-a18\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/7\/2018\/10\/IMG_20181005_173414-600x800.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"414\" height=\"552\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.joshuarosenstock.com\/teaching\/lightart-a18\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/7\/2018\/10\/IMG_20181005_173414-600x800.jpg 600w, https:\/\/www.joshuarosenstock.com\/teaching\/lightart-a18\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/7\/2018\/10\/IMG_20181005_173414-768x1024.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.joshuarosenstock.com\/teaching\/lightart-a18\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/7\/2018\/10\/IMG_20181005_173414-630x840.jpg 630w, https:\/\/www.joshuarosenstock.com\/teaching\/lightart-a18\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/7\/2018\/10\/IMG_20181005_173414-960x1280.jpg 960w, https:\/\/www.joshuarosenstock.com\/teaching\/lightart-a18\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/7\/2018\/10\/IMG_20181005_173414-225x300.jpg 225w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 414px) 100vw, 414px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-780\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Painting the box which will hide the wires<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>To finish everything off, the mirrors were polished and one final test was run. I really like how the effect came out. On some sides you can see the infinity effect while on others you cannot. This depends on the color combination. As such, I&#8217;ve left the pyramids physically detached from the box, so users can change the outer pyramids orientation to change the color schemes. I believe it has a very cool effect.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/player.vimeo.com\/video\/293668987?app_id=122963\" width=\"563\" height=\"1000\" frameborder=\"0\" title=\"VID_20181005_232027\" webkitallowfullscreen mozallowfullscreen allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>This week was a big week in regards to finalizing the construction of my piece.
