Political Piece This piece reflects politics in that these energy industries are unable to penetrate, or intersect politics, instead, the piece redirects the energy industries’ force into ascension, decline, or continued stability. Economics piece This piece reflects the economy’s effects on industries. Specifically, because of a set number of possible consumers, as one energy source […]
[framework]: We used the laser cutter to cut an inverse chipboard topography model to use as a mold. We constructed a small wooden frame in which the chipboard mold would fit. The cracks of the frame were filled with clay and both the wood frame and the chipboard mold were coated in Vaseline to prevent […]
may, 2010 sat. 20: schedule setup + materials research + prototype “moment-piece” brainstorm wed. 24: indivivudal economic, political and social pieces are to be fully modeled and printed using the 3d printer. process animation storyboard due sat. 27: printed individual pieces and prototype assembly. prototype animation work day wed. 31: exhibit prototype and process animation […]
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 […]
