It’s done! I really enjoyed slowly walking lampshades to campus in ones and twos, adding to the hanging collections and seeing my vision take form! This is a short video of me playing with 2 dimmer groups. Unfortunately, there wasn’t a way to integrate that outside of someone using the dimmer switches, and when I…

I finished printing most lampshades and have the grid hung up in a basement room where I can control the lighting. It looks awesome! I also added some dimmers so I can change the brightness of two groups. I’m currently printing the blue shades that I will add near the bottom as “water”. I’m also…

Mostly, my project is going well. However, there are a few issues I’m having. First, the grid I ordered was bent in shipping, not a lot, but enough for me to never be able to unsee it. Then I found that my wire management idea of printing hooks was not great. I also found it…

After thinking about it and looking at how I would do a project, I’ve chosen to make my 3d printed lamp chandelier system. I thought that hanging lights from a grid would be a good way of making something adjustable and clean. I’m not sure how I want to hang each light, so I’ll make…

For my own project, I found four ideas I was interested in pursuing further. Cloud chambers are usually a transparent box that contains supersaturated alcohol vapor. When radiation passes through, it gives enough energy to the alcohol vapor to condense it into mist, leaving a visible trail that the radiation took. I simply think it…

Rafael Lozano-Hemmer Lozano-Hemmer was born on November 17, 1967, in Mexico City. He explores human-to-technology relationships to create interesting spaces. Much of his work is interactive and offers a different perspective to viewers. Much of his work uses projection in large spaces, sometimes even across whole cities. His non-projection-based art is also an interesting experience, most…

I had some photography fun with this. I have messed with lasers before for projection and reflection in conjunction with photography, but I don’t seem to have the photos anymore. So I did a few more shadow-based photos. I particularly like the light rays coming through some fog machine fog, and I plan to take…

I’m Theo Lundblade, an artist from San Diego. I have tried various forms of light art in my artistic endeavors. I find that the art I enjoy creating the most is based on natural phenomena, and instead of controlling it, I’m documenting or working with it. I first developed this mentality towards art when I…
