Final Model process photos

Forgot to take process photos. Model looks sick though!

Had an issue with the spring supplier but other than that she went together with no problems.
Stood up to the heavy handed Ant Nevin tests. No worries

Model tests

Frosted Acrylic with white light test (Success)

Attempt to get printed Acetate to glow (Fail)

Lighting frosted clear acrylic with a magenta LED, Seemed promising, but the nature of rastering meant it was either 100% or 0% tone with no transparency level so we had to write this idea off.

Testing the stacked image with a single (average) light source from behind

Post feedback, excited for the next steps

Opera house lane representation

Poor photo of the final model

Fizzing for presentation!!

In action, bit of disappointment about our spring supplier but otherwise all were happy with the turn out 

Council meeting notes.

Council meeting notes.

Art adviser: Sarah

-Set format for public art is far easier to work with. Courtney place light box in high demand because of this set format.

- Most of the public sculptures have come around from the Wellington sculpture trust. Most projects cost around $200,000.000 and take several years.

-Council project more temporary.

-Creative communities grant. $2000-4000 (council recommend on grant)

-Toi Poneki gallery.

-Urban dream brokerage

- Upstream (friends of central park) site-specific artworks.

-17 Tory street + the pyramid club. Sites 

Events manager: Delia

Installation process for class

Jarrod struggling with basic task

Not working entirely as planned

"This is how to do it Chris"

Hard to photograph without the glare

Feedback time

Phone photos

Just some images of process that have been on my phone

Mocking up prototype #1

Saville Overseeing craftmenship

Mock up portraying effect well

Stacked CMYK layers

Saturation level perhaps need adjusting 

Effect becomes more apparent from angle

Chuffed

Multi colours providing interesting effects

Concept/Prototype intending to display an opposite stalactite effect on the contours of Wellingtons hilly environment. We have since disregarded this idea in order to focus on our other CMYK concept 

Safety first - Great to see

Larger scale CMYK providing work better than smaller scale

Young Harry very happy with his perspex mock up

Although aesthetically very pleasuring we are not confident this will have the opacity variance needed in order to create a full colour image. Issues surrounding wind need to be addressed also

Large scale map printed in order to brain storm locations for display images. This was helpful in finding correlations between spots as we see this as a requirement 

Some exploring to be done!
