After looking at particular artists work which inspired me and zac, it become clear on the style of structure we wanted to create. Which would be very geometric like and something that could stand freely or either in the corner of the room. We would like this to be on a fairly large scale, with many faces to project onto.
There was a lot more to consider than first come to mind when designing the structure, we had to think about the positioning as this would effect how many projectors we would need, from what angle, and how many sides/faces of the structure would be captured by the projector. And also the main factor, being what materials and processes would we have to use to construct this structure and have we given ourselves a realistic time scale to do this within.
Me and zac both sat down and started to think of materials that we thought would be best appropriate to create the structure. Our initial idea was creating the frame from wood and then filling the faces using some sort of white fabric, which was specifically good for projecting onto. However, we then realized it could take a long time to cut and drill all the individual pieces together whilst at the same time being mathematically challenging to get all the angles perfect and to scale for it to fit together.
We then come to the conclusion that it could be far more appropriate to use metal as it would not only be cheaper, but would be a lot easier to weld the pieces of metal together to get the particular angles that we would want.
