• Include a brief description of the concept and list of materials.
• Some things to include:
  • process images
  • sketches, drawings, research photos
  • recipes/formulas
  • installation images – these should be well crafted (pay attention to composition/framing, lighting, focal point, etc.) and be sure to include multiple angles and details.
• Some things to reflect on (there may be many others as well):
  • What were some of the challenges you faced and how did you resolve them?
  • challenges like creating a 3d structure that stands alone, maintaining the balance and keep everything working
  • Who/what were some of your influences/references and how is that apparent in the project?
  • referenced McQueen’s led wearable fashion design piece and many other installations that combines electronics
  • What aspects of the project can you apply to the course/other areas of your work moving forward?
  • What would you do differently (materials, process, structure, installation, etc.) or how would you further develop the piece?
  • I would like to challenge and create a different structure, a more abstract and irregular shape
  • or to further develop this piece, I would like to make this piece larger, and be hanged onto the ceiling
  • Was there specific feedback that offered you new insights or was particularly intriguing?
  • Are there aspects of the collaborative process that stand out for you?

Title: Remains of Tomorrow

"Remains of Tomorrow" envisions a speculative future where the Earth is plunged into a new Ice Age—a consequence of humanity's environmental failures. Inside the installation, fragments of wood and circuit boards are covered with crystal, lying frozen and forgotten, encased in time. The cube serves as both a boundary and a protective shell, preserving the remains of the past while separating them from the world outside. Outside the shell, biomaterial-powered lights illuminate not only the surrounding space but also the failures encased within, like a signal pleading for reflection and change. This juxtaposition of decay and light invites viewers to consider the tension between the technological mistakes of the past and the possibilities of a regenerative, sustainable future

Materials: gelatin, LEDs, PCBs, electronics, copper wires, wood, borax crystals

Recipe:

• gelatin + glycerin + water
• 80g borax + 200g water (same ratio)

Process Images Pt.1 - Material Tests and Prototypes

Prototype 1 - Crystals on electronics & on fabric

Recipe: 160g borax powder, 400ml hot water

We try to grow crystal over the electronics (pcb board and a few electronic parts)

In order to make it fits better with the shape of the body, maybe we would consider to connect it with cloth
