Projection One from Andy Payne on Vimeo. An Interactive Art Installation by Andrew Payne and Eddy Man Kim

Projection One: An interactive art installation unveiled at Harvard’s Graduate School of Design in 2011. Conceived and built by Andrew Payne and Eddy Man Kim. Projection One used rotated light-weight strips of fabric to create a three dimensional projection surface.We would like to thank  Panagiotis Michalatos for his support during this project.  All of the visualizations were developed as scripts written in C# and used several of the Sawapan motion and audio libraries /

Surface Patterns: (the final piece is milled out of a half size sheet (72″x30″) of Corian) out of something that is very very small.  To get the desired relief pattern, I used a 3/4″ V-bit endmill on the CNC mill so that the circle diameter had a linear relationship to the depth of the plunge.  Below are some process images showing the original source image and the step needed to take it into final fabrication using the ShopBot Writer definition I developed for this project.
