Surface Image Characteristics

I went onto Transmaterial.net and chose two surface images that I thought best went with my inspiration.

I chose this material because of the colors and the radiant light that is very similar to fireworks.

Nano Liner XB

The Nano Liner XB series is a slim-profile high-power linear fixture range equipped with 1W or K2 Luxeon LEDs. Owing to its miniaturized housing, it is ideal for space restricting installations requiring the projection of an intense and even light output on walls or any other flat surface. The sleek design and housing of the Nano Liner XB enables discreet installation in any kind of setting. The pure lighting fixtures are free of any electronic devices within their casing, resulting in better and more reliable performance. For optimal customization, the LEDs can be connected in any desired combination: RGB, monochrome or any other specified LED combination.




I chose this material because it reminded me of how birds fly in a certain formation that is so free but also orderly. Also, the light that reflects off the wall gives it a dynamic perspective.

Órgano

Órgano is a sculpture designed by the Spanish artist Eusebio Sempere and built in Madrid, Spain. Composed of a three-dimensional array of polished stainless steel pipes, the installation rotates to filter and reflect sunlight dynamically.
Recently, researchers at the Institute of Materials Science in Madrid tested the acoustic properties of the sculpture, and found that Órgano also behaves as a phononic crystal capable of filtering and modifying sound waves. Listeners positioned on one side of the installation will hear tonal modifications of sounds projected from the opposite side—an aural analogy to the visual effect of light passing through colored prisms.
Scientists at the Transport Research Laboratory in the UK are currently researching the application of Sempere’s geometry to reduce noise along rail networks and roadways.
