CIRCLE OF LIGHT

INFO

​

From life to drawing and back to life, we began to move visual information described as that space between the page and the object, in a measurable way. In this project, I attempted to create a fluid dialog with both the digital and the manual realms through a meaningful and accurate system. 

​

In the system I created, I used light as a form of measurement. The apparatus consisted of a board with cutout 1/2 in. diameter circles that were placed 1/4 in. from one another. I would project onto the board from a fixed point and the cutouts would cast a shape on the surface of the objects. These shapes were then recorded and measured. I came up with a formula that would allow for me to find out the distance between the object and the board as well as the diameter of the circle on the object:

Distance x .0125 = Area + .5 = Diameter

Diameter - .5 = Area/.0125 = Distance
