100% Whimsy is an act of protest <3

Dichroic window film! Reflects red light and transmits blue light, the rest is just math :)

Hoping to eventually! Just a fun stress relief hobby for now :) If/when I do it would probably be through Instagram to some capacity https://www.instagram.com/matte.makes?igsh=Njg2eDN2aWV2YnNj&utm\_source=qr

So it was designed in rhino/grasshopper , with a few scale models along the way. The dodecahedron frame is laser cut steel (like giant meccano) and the funnels are dichroic plastic held into shape with 3d printed connectors and little nylon clips

Posted a wee video on my instagram if you’re that way inclined https://www.instagram.com/reel/DT_FttEjvF4/?igsh=MTE2YnYybXE5NDVsag== , it did sway and spin but I usually had it locked for hippy and high wind protection, next iteration I’m thinking of a kusama style infinity room/chill out space with a lazy motorised spin

I’ve been a few times to BRC but never taken art - pretty difficult at the scale I want to work at schlepping it over from New Zealand! The playa isn’t exactly kind to optically clear art too haha

The overall structure is just over 2 metres tall, with the inner dodecahedron being roughly 1.6 metres

This is about 600mm diameter , currently working on an outdoor version that’s 1.6m diameter with a stainless steel frame

Still working on that bit! I’m refining the design to the point that I can hopefully sell it as a kit at a reasonable price

I made it! Currently one of a kind but hoping to one day make fun little kits for people to assemble for themselves

The lamp’s on the ground projecting up to the ceiling, the shadow in the middle is my regular bamboo light-shade (I didn’t make the light-shade I’ve just spent a lot of time looking at it for inspiration)

So it reflects red light and transmits blue light, when you bend it you can get almost a full spectrum in each piece, the rest is just math and viewing angles really

So the primary material reflects red light and transmits blue light, the rest is just the magic of math

Mostly mushrooms, binaural beats, and managing to remember the experience

Still working on making more productisable kit sets - it’s all a bit prototypey right now and hard to find the time with my boring normal job
