Projects in the Prototyping Phase

Last year was a year of collection! Utilizing the buy nothing groups on Facebook I’ve been collecting materials for my upcoming projects. The following you can expect to see results of this year.

Beyond the Visual

The pinhole camera is a natural example of the LSF (light, sound, form) framework, which categorizes sensory experiences into three types: light, sound, and form. The pinhole camera primarily deals with the visual aspect of the framework and involves the manipulation and capture of light to create an image. The process involves redirecting light rays through a small aperture to create a clear image, representing the “light” aspect of the framework, while the resulting image captures the form of the objects in front of the camera, representing the “form” aspect. In summary, the pinhole camera is an example of the LSF framework, as it illustrates the manipulation and capture of light to create a form or image. 

Refractions of the Soul

This project incorporates ancient symbology and mythology into the creation of a reflective light effect using transparent plastic. The use of light in ancient symbology and mythology is often associated with the divine and the spiritual, representing the power and wisdom of the gods. The project builds on this concept by utilizing transparent plastic, a modern material, to create a visual representation of the ancient symbolism of light. Through the use of small strips of transparent plastic, the project creates a unique and visually interesting effect reminiscent of ancient myths and legends. The whisps of light created through this technique evoke images of mystical creatures and magical powers, as described in many ancient myths and legends. The project provides step-by-step instructions for creating the effect, encouraging experimentation and creativity while also teaching basic principles of light and reflection. By incorporating ancient symbology and mythology, the project allows participants to connect with the past while also exploring new artistic techniques and materials. 

Cellular Automata

Cellular automata (CA) is a branch of mathematics that studies the behavior of systems that are composed of many identical components. It is commonly used to model physical, biological, and artificial systems. CA models consist of a grid of cells that interact with each other according to a set of rules. Each cell can be in one of a number of different states, such as “on” or “off.” Cellular automata mathematics is based on the idea of a cellular universe, where each cell has a state that can be changed through interactions with other cells.  Many natural examples of Cellular Automata that I’m investigating are ready for art production, Magknotic, Electrography, and a few others.

Biomimicry

In regards to Biomimicry, I am creating designs that are inspired by nature. Whether they may be direct imitations or inspirations, nature is a major element in this portfolio. My ‘Aquaware’ artwork depicts 3D printed vases in the shapes of lakes and other bodies of water; my ‘Moth Music’ artwork contains wooden sculptures of the antennae of moths, which is what moths use to hear in nature, and using their shapes to construct contemporary wooden harp-like instruments. Additionally, I am investigating this project through photographing different types of moth antennae. 

In concluding this exploration, the convergence of ancient symbology, cellular automata, and biomimicry showcases the diverse avenues through which creativity intertwines with fundamental principles. From harnessing light to evoke ancient mysticism to exploring the intricate patterns of cellular automata and drawing inspiration from the natural world through biomimicry, each endeavor encapsulates a unique fusion of art, science, and history. As we traverse these artistic landscapes, we find ourselves not only engaged in the act of creation but also immersed in a rich tapestry where past meets present and where the foundational elements of light, sound, and form become the threads binding the diverse expressions of human ingenuity. Through these projects, we are not merely observers but active participants in the ongoing dialogue between art and the fundamental elements that shape our perceptual experiences.

LSF Framework: The Power of Form: Understanding its Role in the LSF Framework

#LSFFramework #SensoryExperience #FormAndFunction #VisualCommunication #DesignThinking

The LSF (Light, Sound, Form) framework is a powerful tool used by designers, architects, and event planners to create immersive and memorable experiences for their audience. At its core, the framework posits that our experience of reality is determined by the interplay of different sensory inputs, with light being the most fundamental. Our eyes are complex organs designed to detect and process light, creating a visual image of our environment. Understanding the role of form in the LSF Framework is crucial to creating impactful experiences. Form refers to the shape, size, and composition of objects and how they work together to communicate ideas and concepts. Through the use of form, designers can create shapes, patterns, and structures that express the interplay between light and dark, birth and rebirth, and the fundamental asymmetry that governs the physical laws and structures of the universe.

In the context of the LSF Framework, form refers to the shape, size, and composition of objects, as well as how they interact with one another. By using different forms, designers can create a variety of shapes, patterns, and structures that can be used to convey different messages or emotions. The importance of form in the LSF Framework lies in its ability to communicate ideas and concepts to audiences in a visually compelling manner. One of the key aspects of form in the LSF Framework is its ability to create symmetry and balance. Symmetry refers to the balance of objects on either side of an axis or center point. This can be seen in architectural structures, such as buildings or bridges, where symmetry plays a crucial role in their aesthetic appeal. In the context of the LSF Framework, symmetry can be used to create a sense of order and balance in the environment. Another important aspect of form in the LSF Framework is its ability to create contrast. Contrast refers to the juxtaposition of different forms, colors, or textures. In the context of the LSF Framework, contrast can be used to create a sense of drama or tension in the environment. For example, contrasting dark and light colors can create a sense of depth or create a striking visual effect.

Form plays a crucial role in expressing this duality and interplay between light and dark. Through the use of form, designers can create shapes, patterns, and structures that communicate these ideas and concepts. For example, a designer might use the form of an apple in a logo or branding to express the duality of light and dark, birth and rebirth, and the fundamental asymmetry of the universe. Understanding the role of form in the LSF Framework requires an appreciation of the fundamental asymmetry that governs the physical realm. By using form to express this duality and interplay between light and dark, designers can create impactful and memorable experiences that resonate with audiences on a deep level. The symbolism of the apple provides a powerful metaphor for these concepts, and designers who understand the role of form in this context can use it to great effect in their work.

Form also plays a crucial role in creating a sense of movement or flow in the environment. By using forms that lead the eye in a particular direction or creating shapes that convey motion, designers can create a sense of dynamism in the environment. This can be seen in the design of spaces such as galleries, where the placement of objects can lead the viewer through the space in a particular way. The role of form in the LSF Framework cannot be overstated. It is a powerful tool that can be used to create visually compelling environments that communicate ideas and concepts to audiences in a memorable way. By using different forms, designers can create symmetry and balance, contrast, movement, and flow in the environment, all of which are key to creating impactful and immersive experiences. The LSF Framework, with its emphasis on light, sound, and form, provides designers with a powerful approach to creating environments that tap into the very essence of our perception of the world.

LSF Framework: The Power of Sound: How It Shapes Our Perception of Reality

#LSFframework #powerofsound #acousticarchitecture #soundandsight #emotionalsound

The LSF (Light, Sound, Form) Framework is a way of understanding how different sensory inputs shape our perceptions of the world. While light is the primary means by which we receive visual information, sound plays an equally important role in shaping our experiences. Sound is a form of energy that travels through the air in waves. These waves can be detected by our ears, which are incredibly complex organs that are designed to convert sound waves into electrical signals that our brains can interpret. In this way, sound becomes a powerful means by which we receive information about our environment.

The role of sound in the LSF framework is multi-faceted. First and foremost, sound can provide important information about our surroundings that cannot be obtained through visual cues alone. For example, the sound of footsteps can tell us how close someone is, or the sound of a car engine can tell us how fast it’s going. In addition to providing important information, sound also plays a crucial role in shaping our emotional responses to our environment. Different sounds can evoke different emotions, such as the calming sound of a gentle stream or the exciting sound of a cheering crowd. Sound can also be used to create a sense of ambiance or atmosphere in a given space, such as the sound of soft music in a restaurant or the hum of conversation in a bustling coffee shop.

Finally, sound can also interact with light and form to create complex and nuanced perceptions of the world. For example, the way in which sound waves bounce off different surfaces can create unique acoustic effects, while the combination of sound and light can create powerful emotional experiences, such as in a concert or a movie theater. The role of sound in the LSF framework is essential to our understanding of the world around us. By understanding how sound interacts with our other senses, we can gain a deeper appreciation for the complexity and richness of our perceptions and use this knowledge to create more meaningful and impactful experiences for ourselves and others.

#CrystalGrids #CellularAutomataModels #HealingTechniques #ScienceAndSpirituality #EnergyFlow

Crystal grids and cellular automata models are two powerful tools for promoting healing and well-being that have gained popularity in recent years. While some may view these techniques as purely spiritual or metaphysical, there is actually a growing body of scientific research that supports their effectiveness.

At their core, crystal grids and cellular automata models are both based on the principles of energy and information flow. In a crystal grid, a collection of crystals are arranged in a specific pattern or layout to create a harmonious flow of energy. This energy is believed to promote healing, balance, and well-being on physical, emotional, and spiritual levels.

Similarly, cellular automata models are mathematical simulations that depict the behavior of complex systems over time. These models are based on simple rules that govern the behavior of individual cells, which interact with one another to create emergent patterns and behaviors. Cellular automata models have been used to study a wide range of phenomena, from the behavior of particles in physics to the spread of diseases in epidemiology.

So what do these two techniques have in common? Both crystal grids and cellular automata models are based on the idea that small changes can have big effects. In a crystal grid, the precise arrangement of crystals can create a subtle but powerful shift in the energy flow within a space or a person’s body. Similarly, in a cellular automata model, small changes in the behavior of individual cells can lead to large-scale emergent patterns and behaviors.

One of the most exciting aspects of crystal grids and cellular automata models is that they can be used in a wide variety of settings and for a range of purposes. Some people use crystal grids to promote relaxation and stress relief, while others use them to enhance creativity or promote spiritual growth. Similarly, cellular automata models have been used to model everything from traffic flow to the spread of wildfires.

If you’re interested in exploring the science and spirituality of crystal grids and cellular automata models for healing, there are a few key things to keep in mind.

Bher Dheigh Blog, LSF Framework

LSF Framework: The Power of Light: Exploring its Role in the LSF Framework

#LSFframework #poweroflight #lightdesign #perceptionofreality #lightsoundform

The LSF (Light, Sound, Form) framework is a concept that has been used to describe the ways in which our perception of the world is shaped by the interplay of different sensory inputs. At its core, the framework posits that our experience of reality is determined by the way in which we receive and interpret information from our surroundings, with different senses playing a key role in shaping our perceptions. Of the three components of the LSF framework, light is perhaps the most fundamental. This is because light is the primary means by which we receive visual information about the world around us. Our eyes are incredibly complex organs that are designed to detect and process light in order to create a visual image of our environment.

The way in which we perceive light is determined by a number of different factors, including the intensity, color, and direction of the light source. Our brains use this information to construct a mental image of our surroundings, which we can then use to navigate the world and make decisions about how to act. Light also plays a crucial role in shaping our emotional responses to our environment. Bright, warm light can make us feel happy and energetic, while dim, cool light can create a sense of calm and relaxation. The way in which light is used in different contexts, such as in art, architecture, and design, can also have a profound impact on our emotional state.

Sound and form are also important components of the LSF framework, and the way in which these sensory inputs interact with light can create complex and nuanced perceptions of the world. For example, the way in which light interacts with different surfaces and textures can create unique visual effects, while the combination of light and sound can create powerful emotional responses. The role of light in the LSF framework is fundamental to our experience of the world around us. By understanding the way in which light interacts with our senses, we can gain a deeper appreciation for the complexity and richness of our perceptions, and use this knowledge to create more meaningful and impactful experiences for ourselves and others.

LSF Framework: Art Ai as Concept Art in Project Proposals?

#asymmetry #geometry #symbolism #universe #LSFframework

My portfolio has been experiencing a renaissance utilizing Ai to overcome certain challenges that I’ve faced as a creator. Being one person I simply can’t have all the skills necessary for creating the direction I want to go in, in terms of this portfolio. One of the challenges Ai has overcome is creating concept art for proposals and ideas that sit at the intersection of art and science. Being a website that promotes art and science I wholeheartedly support Ai and unless something dangerous or drastic develops, you won’t be changing my mind! Being an independent, I wholeheartedly believe in saving time so you can use that time for yourself or to focus on the actual production of the artwork.

Artificial Intelligence (AI) has been making its mark in various fields, and the art world is no exception. AI algorithms can be trained to create original artworks that can be used in art proposals. Conceptual art is one such genre where AI-generated art can be quite effective in conveying the artist’s vision. Art proposals are essential for artists looking to secure funding or exhibit their works. These proposals typically include the artist’s statement, past works, and sometimes, concept art. Conceptual art is a type of art that focuses on the ideas or concepts behind the artwork rather than the physical representation of the object. It is, therefore, an ideal genre for artists to use AI-generated art.

One of the ways AI-generated art can be used in art proposals is by creating abstract or symbolic imagery that represents the artist’s concept or idea. For example, an artist may want to convey the idea of interconnectedness, and an AI algorithm can generate a network of lines and shapes that represent this concept. The generated artwork can be included in the proposal as a visual representation of the artist’s idea. Another way AI-generated art can be used in art proposals is by creating collages or assemblages of images. An AI algorithm can be trained to select images that are relevant to the artist’s concept and arrange them in a meaningful way. For instance, an artist may want to convey the idea of diversity, and an AI algorithm can be trained to select images of different cultures, genders, and races and arrange them in a way that represents the artist’s idea. The resulting artwork can be included in the proposal as a visual representation of the artist’s concept.

AI-generated art can also be used to create interactive or immersive artworks. Interactive artworks are artworks that require the viewer’s participation to complete the work, while immersive artworks are artworks that envelop the viewer’s senses to create a total experience. AI algorithms can be used to create artworks that respond to the viewer’s movements or actions, or that create immersive environments that transport the viewer to a different world. These artworks can be included in the proposal as an example of the artist’s vision for the artwork. AI-generated art can be a powerful tool for artists looking to create conceptual art for their art proposals. AI algorithms can be trained to create abstract or symbolic imagery, collages, interactive or immersive artworks, and more. By using AI-generated art in their proposals, artists can effectively communicate their ideas and concepts to potential funders or exhibition curators.

Below is a screen recording of a .stl file that I created with a generator from the right image above. This is significant as it can then be sent to a 3D printer and be printed into a pendent, or to any machine that accepts .stl files.

In the LSF (Light, Sound, Form) framework, the apple or fruit represents a fundamental concept in the creation of the 3Dimensional realm we currently inhabit. According to this framework, the apple symbolizes the split of light into two aspects, light and dark, which gives rise to the polarity necessary for the manifestation of the physical realm. In this context, light represents the energetic, spiritual, and transcendental aspects of existence, while dark represents the material, physical, and manifest aspects. The split between light and dark is said to have occurred during the creation of the universe, and it is the foundation upon which the physical realm is built.

The apple is often used as a metaphor for this split, with the fruit representing the material aspect of existence and the seed representing the spiritual aspect. When the seed is planted and nourished, it can grow into a new tree, thus representing the cycle of birth and rebirth that is a fundamental aspect of existence. The LSF framework suggests that the physical world we inhabit is a manifestation of the split between light and dark, with both aspects working together to create the complexity and diversity of our reality. By understanding this fundamental concept, we can gain a deeper appreciation for the interconnectedness of all things and the role that polarity plays in the creation of our world.
