This is the original photograph.
This is the photoshopped visualization.
This is the image I designed and then later worked from.
This is the detail (in which you can see the tip of the light bulb and the binary code).
My proposal is a decorative ceiling for the computer labs of the MAT building. This piece will feature technology woven artistically to represent the very nature of the classes the building contains. I feel it is something that will provide a charged and creative atmosphere that is sadly missing from the building. This art piece will be different from those of most public artists, since it doesn’t have any abstract principles behind it. My reason for wanting to do this is simple, not abstract: all I want is a pleasing working environment for the classes that take place daily in the building. It is not meant to distract, like the works of many famous public artists like Krzystof Wodiczko or Mark Dion, but to do quite the opposite. It is to support a focused and creative environment that can be enjoyed without diversion- a subtle, yet striking image. The work was inspired by the common Mac desktop image visible upon all the computers in the lab. The image I was trying to make was an explosion of color, light, and binary code from a light bulb graphic above the projector screen.

That is a really cool visualization. It is very appropriate in a design class and adds a lot of funk to the classroom.

Interesting concept-- the technology images in the close-up detail image almost look like stars, asteroids, planets, etc.
ReplyDeleteThe choice of the color, though, it striking: it's neither too intense, nor too subtle to go unnoticed. Good balance.

That is really cool and it really makes me think that there is an explosion.... good job!!

Very interesting. The fact that you incorporated the MAC screen saver will add to the interest of the rooms.
ReplyDeleteInteresting the purple added a nice dark ominous feel, kinda like space.

This would make class rooms so much more interesting. I would like to come to class a lot more.

It's a Led Zepplin moment. I see the psychedelic colors, I hear Pink Flloyd in the background, and don't forget the black light. Cheers to the 70s!

Looks very ethereal and transparent, like the roof vanishes. Makes me think of a planetarium--Heather
ReplyDeleteGreat idea...to apply design to the ceilings in the MAT Department. After all, it is a creative environment. I agree that decorative inspiration is missing in the MAT classrooms, which makes no sense at all. I like your design, and the floating elements you chose to use. Great job.

Great job, you achieved your goal and then some. Jim
