For this week’s progress meeting, I was able to get magnets, more 1/8″ wood and card stock to make some layers for my final light box. (As a reminder, I’m basing these new slides of one of my favorite games, INSIDE.) In this iteration, I swapped out the thicker 1/4″ wood with 1/8″ wood, and…

I botched my timing on some other projects this week, so I wasn’t able to make tangible progress – but aside from the trial and error that comes with laser cutting, I think I’m still on a good path – I don’t think I have more significant technical challenges left to face. Materials The main…

This past week I experimented with actually laser cutting wood for my light box slides (as opposed to cutting paper as I did last week). I think the 4 slides I made turned out well, but there are some things I would like to change and rethink about their design. Below you can see the…

For the maquette of my light box concept, I wanted to have a physical mockup demonstrating at least a couple moving parts, and reorderable layers held together by magnets. I didn’t have time to get enough wood for a laser-cut version, so I cut up index cards by hand to make some layers. Below are…

For my project, I want to make a light box with swappable, laser-cut silhouette layers. I think this will be well within my skills, as I have experience with laser cutting and creating vector graphics – but making an assembly out of laser cut parts will be new to me. Examples of static light boxes…

For the light artist presentation, I will be covering URBANSCREEN: “an internationally active design-studio for cross-disciplinary media installations” (urbanscreen.com). This collective of artists is responsible for a wide variety of commissioned light-based artworks, primarily focused on projection mapping on large spaces. I decided to highlight a few of their works that I thought best highlight…
