DESIGN NAME: Unvisible Landscapes
PRIMARY FUNCTION: Lamp
INSPIRATION: Objective mathematical notions must be thought as timeless entities and are not to be regarded as being conjured into existence at the moment that they are first humanly perceived.
Roger Penrose, The Road to Reality. A complete Guide to the Laws of the Universe.
Eternal beauty (...) nor this beauty will appear like the beauty of a face or hands or anything corporeal, or like a thought or knowledge, or existing in any other being, but a beauty itself constant and eternal.
Plato, The Symposium
UNIQUE PROPERTIES / PROJECT DESCRIPTION: 3 dimensional fractals that bring associations with urban landscapes generated in fractal generation software and then transposed to physical space by 3d printing and presented in the form of light.
OPERATION / FLOW / INTERACTION: A light with a power supply
PROJECT DURATION AND LOCATION: The project starded in 2019, and was exhibited in Pavilion 02 in Venice in May 2019
FITS BEST INTO CATEGORY: Lighting Products and Fixtures Design

PRODUCTION / REALIZATION TECHNOLOGY: Fractal generation through Mandelbulb 3d software. 3d processing was made by applying displacement maps to surfaces in 3d modeling software. Physical objects were printed on a 3d printer with te use of PLA filament and then equipped with LED strips for lighting.
SPECIFICATIONS / TECHNICAL PROPERTIES: Model 1: Width 170 mm x Depth 120 mm x Height 26 mm
Model 2: Width 200 mm x Depth 150 mm x Height 16 mm
Model 3: Width 420 mm x Depth 320 mm x Height 15 mm
TAGS: fractal, fractals, 3d print, 3d printing, light
RESEARCH ABSTRACT: Fractals generated by mutation of formulas and navigation in Mandelbulb 3d software. Then rendered and transposed into video, digital prints and 3d prints.
CHALLENGE: This design is a part of the project 'Unvisible Spaces' with the aim to visualize and sonify 'unvisible'; phenomena that take place in nature and introduce them to the field of art and design.
