The New Machine
The two new machines currently in design are to see the model in a new way emphasizing something about the model and cubism. The other is to see nothing at all. After taking a trip to the local photo store I came across and old movie editor and an old camera and lens. While exploring the film editor I learned just how it worked. It uses a low voltage bulb at the base which shines light onto a small lens which projects the light onto and through the film strip which than hits a series of mirrors at different angles finally projecting the light onto the plexiglas allowing one to see the film at a bigger scale. With this in mind I came up with the idea of possibly allowing one to view my model through that screen or possibly at a large scale in the same manner. However, the model is solid and I cannot project light through it. In tern I though of either taking actual film and projecting it through a similar projector emphasizing certain aspects of the model. Also I came up with another idea of using a black light on the white model in a completely dark environment. Possibly this light will allow enough light to be reflected off of the model to be projected using a series of mirrors. I am thinking if i can get enough light to reflect off of the model, I will be able to project it onto a wall or screen. I am going to further develop the idea this weekend though and see if it is possible.
