My Latest Project - The Arboriscope * 4
    #14318653 - 04/19/11 05:21 PM (12 years, 10 months ago)

First, watch this rough video i made... It explains the whole thing better..



So... it's basically a series of photographs of an old growth forest on the Niagara Escarpment, shown through the lens of this machine that i built...

There are 7 slides, which are:

















The whole thing is built mostly from oak. The sphere is made from heat bent oak strips, and some kind of natural fabric, i forget the name...

The height is fully adjustable, and the sphere swivels on two axis.

The hinges are all wood, as well as the top latch.

The light fixture has a full aluminum shield, glass UV filter, and is accessible under the removable white acrylic diffuser.

So does it have a magnifying lense? 

Can you go into a bit more detail on its design and uses?



Beautiful work as usual!

Do you view only slides through it?    How do you make slides?

From what I am gathering it is something you look through to either take pictures or view nice vistas...  Or I am thinking its like a Viewmaster that you view slides through.  Slides for Tree in this case :smirk:


Meat Hod....  where you at ho..  shed some light

EDIT: the video helps explain alot.

Well, the lens is a lot like a larger version of a door peephole lens. It makes the space inside the sphere appear much more expansive than you would assume from looking at it's size.

The function is just to hold and back light 17x17" photographic slides.

Viewing them inside the machine creates the illusion that you are looking at the real forest, which has been somehow captured and contained inside the sphere...

Each image is stitched together from 20-60 photographs, so they have extremely high resolution... this helps to retain the feeling that you are looking at reality, rather than a photograph.

It's basically my attempt to create an experience where viewers find themselves sucked into the forest. Cuz' who doesn't like being in the woods!?

This is an awesome idea.  I love the way it looks. I just wish I could have a look through/in it.


:awesome:

It's basically just a big viewmaster, haha

And i make the slides from layering two inkjet transparencies, layering them together creates much richer colours and blacker blacks..

I then just frame it with a rough wooden frame made from 1.5mm plywood.

Your art makes me smile and feel happy inside.  Thank you.


That's a really cool idea, and fantastic execution.  You've definitely gotten my gears spinning about incorporating something like that into a wall...

I have a concept for a "cloud room" that would be floored with pillows and painted and lighted to simulate being in a cloud.  I think it would be interesting to incorporate small swiveling peepholes into other dimensions of earth into the walls of the could room.

Oh dear lord of creative goodness.

I like how active and productive you are with your ideas. Way to wrestle these things out into the "real" world to share.

Great job, man!

This is my issue, translating my cool ideas,interests,talents ect..  into real world.  or "being productive with them" 

Realizing that most of the shit that is in my head all day can be realized,and that I can do it.. Now That is is a challenge!

I do that a lot as well man...

The trick is to keep thinking, until you come up with an idea that just has to be done...

You need an obsessive drive, and to get that drive, you need an idea that you're passionate about.

I usually spend a loooot of time thinking, before I start a project. I build it in my head, and test to see if it's going to work, then tinker with it... I have a pretty good idea of how materials will react, so building it in your head is a good start. Once you have a rough final image, you need to look at that final piece and feel good about it...

Feel that feeling of having it done, and know that when you accomplish this project in real life, you're going to feel amazingly awesome!

then furiously work till it is completed, a slow start and work ethic will only result in a loss of interest in most cases...for me at least..

good luck!
