The Plastisphere: The Arch
2023
Various plastics, steel, LEDs, raspberry pi
with Gwen Law & Olivia Mackall
A 12 foot high arch sculpture covered in a variety of corals made from different plastic materials and lit to add light, color, and movement.
Gwen created the sculptures out of a variety of plastics. I wrote my own software in pygame which maps enhanced images of coral to the plastic coral and displays them through LEDs on the sculptures, with added effects to mimic the movement and light patterns of ocean waves. We installed 600 LEDs in the sculpture. This will be a part of a larger installation.
