My original idea for this project was to scan the clock at Grand Central at different times of the day to get different models generated from different lighting conditions. Then I would create a sundial with the each scanned model marking a corresponding hour.When I tried to scan the clock in the morning and evening as a prototype, the result was far from satisfactory. Because there are so many artifacts from the digital scan, there was hardly any difference in the final generated model from each time.<\/p>\n
So my next idea was to create a sculpture that embodies digital decay. I ended up creating a series of sculptures based on merging a scanned model with a lot of artifact and a “perfect” model I created. Each sculpture represent a different mix between the two. The first sculpture was a complete merged model of the two models. The subsequent sculptures has the pert one slowly emerging from this merged model like a cell dividing itself. And the final series form a pattern similar to the common charts representing evolution.<\/p>\n
Unfortunately, the print failed 3 times, so I was not able to produce a physical object. However, I was able to create a 3D rendering of what the sculpture could have looked like.<\/p>\n
