Today I was focused on finishing my art objects. On Friday, I met with Scott in the lab and we were able to successfully use the laser cutter to cut all my shapes. Over the weekend I drew the lines on each of the sides and assembled them. I was researching methods to use invisible ink and UV light but I decided to use black ink because I wanted the audience to be able to see the lines on the side no matter what. I made the lines small and detailed to represent the organized chaos of the universe and how something seemingly chaotic can usually be broken down into simple mathematical formulae. I think these were a great success. The laser cutter was a very effective tool to aid in the process and the finished pieces look professional and visually interesting and relate to my concept and research inquiry in the way that I envisioned. Here are my finished art objects:
