Week 4 - 5
I have been recently very interested in using light as a medium. I have used it to make a series of abstract photographs early this semester. Here are thumbnails of the series.
After demonstrating the process of the projector creation, many people enjoyed the actual projection more than the photographs. So then there was an issue of creating a vessel to house these "found light" objects. Until now...
1. Made the containment sleeve for the flashlight.
2. First section of the "telescoping" action. This is about 5 inches tall.
3. Second Section of the "telescoping" action. This is also 5 inches tall.
4. Third and final section of the "telescoping" action. This being the final segment will be fitted at the end with a 3.5in diameter magnification lens.
5. Designed for compact transport, the segments will collapse into one another until ready for display.
6. Completely extended will give me a 15in "Found Light" Projector, ready for display. (I might want to add a 4th telescope section to possibly allow larger projections for bigger installation spaces)
7. Keyshot render 1 - The design is minimal as are the photographs and projections. Too many embellishments will detract from the actual artwork.
8. Keyshot render 2 - Virtual demonstration of the projection process and the functionality of the work. Using "Found Light" to create a new aesthetic experience.
Week 6
I had to adjust some of the scaling for the lens. What happened was that during modeling I made the mistake of making a 3.5in radius rather than a 1.75in radius to fit the 3.5in lens. Adjusting the model made the overall construction more narrow. There are also some top ring sections that would be glued onto the corresponding sections so when the telescope is extended, they would not fall through one another. This also reduced the need for any rafting during the printing process.
Week 7
In the image above, it is the entire piece collapsible.
Here it is extended in action. I might make a stand for it possibly.

I had the opportunity to meet and talk with him regarding my projection work and I look forward to updating him on my progress.
