The Design

About Unvisible Landscapes Làmpada

Unvisible Landscapes és una sèrie de làmpades basades en fractals tridimensionals. Les formes recorden paisatges urbans i es generen amb programari de modelatge fractal. S'apliquen mapes de desplaçament a les superfícies mitjançant programari de modelatge tridimensional, i les formes resultants s'imprimeixen amb filament de PLA. Cada objecte imprès s'equipa amb tires de LED i una font d'alimentació, de manera que el fractal es presenta en forma de llum. La sèrie fa visibles estructures matemàtiques en l'espai físic i les introdueix en l'àmbit de l'art i el disseny.

fractal, fractals, 3d print, 3d printing, light
Production 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.
Design 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.
Research
Fractals generated by mutation of formulas and navigation in Mandelbulb 3d software. Then rendered and transposed into video, digital prints and 3d prints.
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
Project Duration
The project starded in 2019, and was exhibited in Pavilion 02 in Venice in May 2019
Operation Flow
A light with a power supply
