I plan to create a drawing using lasers by reflecting them off a series of mirrors as illustrated below. My initial idea is to make a minimalistic map of the world, but I am still weighing my options since I want something simple enough that it is possible, but not so simple that it is boring.<\/p>\n\n\n

Concept of laser art<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n

I did a few tests with the laser, and it proves that this idea should be feasible, albeit with immense difficulty. Smudges on the mirrors, long distances, and too much smoke caused the light to become unfocused and illuminate the surrounding area. However, with a proper set up and planning these should be avoidable. <\/p>\n\n\n

Laser proof of concept<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n

I think the part of this idea I enjoy the most is how distinctive it is. I searched for this concept to see if there were any examples, but the most I was able to find were people creating basic shapes to teach kids. I don’t think I have ever worked on an art project this unique, and I am excited to get started. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Questions:
1. Do you have any ideas to increase visibility of the laser via suspended particles?
2. Do you have any ideas of how to keep the beam as focused as possible?
3. Is there a cheap nonreflective material that absorbs a lot of light?
4. Does anyone have experience with lasers and have general advice?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
