Source as a System

Project #3 Work in Progress

In this project I am willing to work on “Color” as a source of a system. Color is the source for many systems. Emotions, labels, memories and many more. Color is the main key element for multiple systems that we face in our daily life. Color theory principles were highlighted for the very first time in the writing that were written by an Italian architect called Leon Battista Alberti. His explorations later on proceeded by the well known Leonardo Da Vinci. However, from personal experience and modern look of color, in my project I will be transitioning the Bauhaus color theory in the LED lightings. As my main focus the two artists I initially looked in to was, Kandinsky and Josef Albers. Two great painters of The Bauhaus school. Their work portrayed the undeniable connection between shapes (geometric) and color.

Object details:

In my project, I am looking forward to create a product, which can be sold as a piece of accessory or furniture. The product itself will be based on creating Josef Albers’s square color study in to a physical piece. The piece will be made out of a wood frame with steel sides.

MATERIALS:

Wood
Steel
Plexiglass
Wires
Arduino
LED’s
Switch

sources to be used:

Laser-Cut
- “In order to shape the wood and plexiglass”
CNC
- “In order to cut steel / big pieces of wood (if needed)
3D Printer
- “In order to model the piece”
