PROJECT 2Bv2: PHYSICAL CONSTRUCT

The first set of images represents the model in its original form. The intent of the model was to duplicate the curved surface of the digital model through the use of a literal triangulated surface. This surface was built up on a clay form work. As with the digital model, it is meant to be a surface that both acts as object and frame to itself.



The second set of images show the model after it has received a spray coating of rubber. This process was meant to remove the geometric look of the surface, however, this coating was not as thick as planned; even after three coats, the geometric appearance remains. The one benefit is the binding of the form.

PROJECT 2Bv1: PHYSICAL CONSTRUCT

These first two images are of the CAD drawing used to make the physical surface construct. These were generated with stills taken out of the movie scene. The magenta represents what was cut through, the green what was etched.

These are photos of the construct. The idea behind it is perceptions of a surface. There are two types of framing at work in the movie scene. Framing done with the ships, and framing done through the view screens on board the ships. Each face is meant to represent one of the two. The top is intentionally left open, an is meant to represent a world view where there is no framing. The bottom surface was the surface meant to be framed.
