Original Idea: Colored Lithophane: My original idea was to create a colored lithophane, which is normally only seen in black and while and then start to play around with similar themes used by Carnovsky using different RGB light sources to portray different components of a larger image. Above is my test trying out this method…

For my project, I decided to go with the infinity mirror. I wanted to make something physical for my project. When comparing the LED cube and the mirror, I felt that the cube wouldn’t have enough of a resolution to create the liquid effect without using thousands of LEDs. For the mirror, I started to…
Maquette – Amanda Smith
I used some steel wire to make a makeshift person, and hot glued some pieces to keep him stable. I took Matt’s suggestion of having some black back panels so that the illusion shows through more clearly. Incorporating two strobe lights could be helpful, except with the specific frequency I’d need to match the light…

Based on my technical abilities and passion for the concept I decided to go with my second concept proposal, the statue with fluorescent lighting. In working on my maquette I decided to test two of the concepts going into this piece: The Sculpting and Florescence I quickly discovered that scale is going to be very…

For my Light Art project, I’m planning to make a “ship in a bottle” made from 17 layers of laser engraved and cut acrylic. Each layer will feature a cross section of the ship HMS Surprise, from Patrick O’Brian’s Aubrey-Maturin series. Each layer of acrylic will be edge lit from beneath by addressable RGB LEDs….

Idea 1: Some Swirly Shadows (SSS). Basically, I will make 3 patterned sheets, roll them into a cylinder, and put a light inside them. They will be rotating and casting shadows around them. The shadows are of different colors: either the sheets with the patterns are colored, or the lights themselves are colored (and can…

The idea I came up with is a tabletop sculpture with a middle section made of layers of laser cut acrylic with several small chutes/tubes going down from top to bottom allowing water to flow down. There would be a small reservoir at the bottom and an electric pump to move water back to the…

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…

The possible themes of my two ideas are Pirates, Ducks, Halloween and Goats. These lights will be still unless I figure out a way to make them look like they are moving, Idea 1: Yard Display Piece My first idea is to make a display piece that can be put outside a home or building…
Concept Proposal – Charles Kittler
Concept #1 – Projector Tree This idea was inspired by a video of a custom controller with 6 VGA ports on it, but is quite cost prohibitive because it requires 6 projectors and a computer with 6 video outputs, but I do think it would be a cool idea. The piece would use 6 projectors…

For potential concepts, I considered some topics that I’m passionate about or that have been more recently on my mind, such as mental health issues, climate change, and my hatred of the 40-hour work week. I came up with several potential concepts using these themes and have two concept proposals I’d like to share with…
Concept Proposal – Sydney Smith
For my project this term, I really want to make some sort of stained glass project. Ever since I had a stained glass video in my YouTube recommended, I have been so intrigued to try it. I would consider this project to remain static, however, one might consider it to be dynamic if hung in…
