Possible themes to unite our work for the installation include: orientation to Mississippi River, ecological typologies, or similar processes. Mississippi River My system occurs primarily at the mouth of the delta of the Mississippi River, like the fringe at the bottom of a wide skirt. Occasionally pipelines extend into upland areas while refineries are scattered […]
Here is a test of combining and animating diagrams and still image via After Effect.
Ecology: We interpret our project as being, like any other farming ecology, an economy of trade, efficiency of production, and more specifically; the implementation of an alternate energy source. Thus, this ecology requires: the production of algae at a large scale, achievable through technological advances, in order to produce enough biofuel to sustain the production […]
The ecology of the oil and gas infrastructure is an extremely complex system and so in order to develop a coherent simulation it is necessary define the particular area of inquiry. In particular, I am interested in how the petrochemical infrastructure is inserted into the Louisiana’s Gulf Coast wetlands landscape. Many processes could be included- […]
I tried to use After Effect to animate data and diagram with still image. This is the first test.
[framework] : white plaster model of Mississippi River basin and delta The framework will be achieved by using topographical data of the Mississippi River basin and delta to createcontour linework in Autocad. This information will be fed into the laser cutter to make negatives for chipboard molds. Once the molds are assembled the plaster will […]
Process Prototype_02 {3d diagram} The 3d diagram was created using SketchUp and Podium renderer. This photograph depicts the prototype for the portion of the animation that will narrate the process as it weaves through closer details. Process Prototype_01 {storyboard} Summarized in 9 frames, the process of algae cultivation begins abstractly then moves into a macro-scale […]
This prototype parallels our study of the meandering rivers. We are trying to duplicate what Christian Braudrick, William Dietrich, and their fellow colleagues have done at the University of California at Berkeley. They have successfully been able to construct a scaled down version of a meandering river that successfully maintains meanders in the river. By […]
Iteration 1: Conceptual Prototype of different energy sources’ consumption over time and acceptance over time. A full built model could utilize clear acrylic in place of the particle board as well as colored lines. Casting in resin also an option as are acrylic laser-cut cross members. – Iteration 2: Study charting multiple energy sources (algae, wind, solar, bio-fuels, hyrdogen, […]
something is happening… prototype 1.0: section model of transect from golden meadow to port fourchon This was my first pass at modeling a transect of the ecology of the oil infrastructure + ecology of the wetlands. The sections are at 1″:40′ which still doesn’t allow for much area of the terrain to be included. The […]
