Here is the final product! I loved some of the surprises I received when lighting up the box for the first time, especially when it was lit up in a completely dark room. Thank you to my friends for their support and assistance in this project! Dhruv Madan Stephanie Lee Karen Pan Dennis Johnson And…

Meredith – Polish and Present
I don’t have all too much for this post, except now all my components are assembled and functioning. Here is an image of the inside of my box with the circuit components and the motor box glued to the floor. Oh, you can see the braces in each corner too! I like how much sturdier…
Meredith – Everything Working
Update! I’ve got a working motor that rotates the deflecting object. I got my RBE friends to help me with this part of my project; they lent me the materials, taught me how to code for the Raspberry Pi, and helped me build the circuit. Circuit: I’ll start with the circuit and its components. My…
Meredith – Failure, Recalibration & Iteration
Update!Now, I’m adding from my previous idea, as I think my original idea was too simple. I’ve had many design ideas (which I will show below), because I wanted to gauge how doable my project would be due to material, time, and tool restraints. I want to capture the light in an enclosed space, so…
Meredith – Maquette Geometric Reflective Peice

Light Artists Presentation: Hannu Huhtamo
Hannu Huhtamo is a Finnish light artist from the Helsinki region. The first light painting he can recall was in the 90s, when he made a promo for a death metal band of a pentagram with a lighter, but he truly started light art photography in 2008. He was amazed by the experiments his friend…
Meredith – Concept Proposals
Holographic / Projection Goblet of Fire The idea is to recreate the Goblet of Fire from Harry Potter and in some way use holographics. Ideally, it would be cool to create holographic flames. I’ve looked at some YouTube videos to figure out some ideas for this project. For the goblet, I am unsure as to…
