The Design

About Crystal Visualizations Ang Pag-Install Ng Sining

Ang seryeng ito ng trabaho ay nagsasangkot ng pagbuo ng mga kumplikadong fractal na imahe batay sa detalyadong pagsusuri ng istraktura ng kemikal ng mga kristal. Sa pamamagitan ng pagkolekta ng data tulad ng distansya sa pagitan ng bawat elemento, anggulo ng bonding ng kemikal at molekular na masa ng istraktura ng crystalline, binago at binabago ni Yingri Guan ang data sa mga fractals sa pamamagitan ng pagbuo ng isang serye ng mga equation at formula.

Behind the Design

Unique Properties: By analyzing the chemical bonding in crystals and applying a set of mathematical equations and rules to my research, the fractal image is generated by computer through coding. Drawing inspiration from four different crystal structures, four different pieces are generated.
Dimensions & Packaging: Width 1000 mm x Depth 800 mm x Height 1200 mm
Tags: generative, abstract, light, LED, art, visualization, installation, sculpture, crystals
Production Technology: The images are generated through computer programming. Then the images are exported into vectors. The vectors then transformed into sculpture etching using laser cutters. Later the cut acrylic glass are then assembled together with the wood table structure to keep it secure. And they are illuminated with lights to magnify the generative lines.
Design Challenge: The challenge is to maximize the aesthetic beauty of this piece while making it physically feasible. The first version was created with acrylic glass stack onto each other for easier assembly. However, I soon realized that would be too heavy of a piece both in terms of design and weight. So I explored different options in terms of how to assemble a acrylic glass to a heart shape while making the topographic map layer correspondinging on top of each other. Another challenge lies in how to install the LED light to illuminate the whole piece. Several pedestal options and filtering materials were tested and the final product is as shown.
Research: San Francisco has really unique topological maps and hence that became my inspiration. Looking at San Francisco while flying on a plane. Especially at night. San Francisco's map is distributed to different altitudes.
Inspiration: This series of work initiated with my fascination with crystals and fractals. There is a stark similarity between them. Crystals are formed by the orderly arrangements of atoms or ions while fractals are generated by repeating simple geometric shapes by obeying a certain set of rules. Both formations involve repetitions of identical singular units. It then evolved to become a visualizing crystal structure using generated fractal images.
Project Duration: The project started in Dec 2012 in Buffalo and finished in December 2019 in Seattle.
Operation Flow: People come to close interaction with the piece and see it. They will learn about crystal structure via a close examination of the 4 different pieces.
