Abstract Tech My main project is in the Abstract Tech aesthetic. Abstract Tech includes digital holograms, lights, geometric patterns, and conceptual “technology” to paint a futuristic picture. This aesthetic draws on the technology movement of the 20th century. There is often digital circuitry involved in this aesthetic, and an overall futuristic feel. Below is an…

To recap my project goals, I am making an infinity mirror out of an acrylic sheet with 2 way mirror film, 3D printed frame pieces, and an LED strip. My progress has been halted by a few design constraints recently. Mostly 3D printing capabilities. I talked to Pat in the electronics lab in the Idea…

To recap my project, I am making an infinity mirror with an LED strip in the middle as well as a Newton’s Cradle. I’d like to start with a quick update on my project. I have redesigned my frame that will be 3D printed to adhere to a 8”x8” mirror. Here is my current CAD…

The aesthetic I will be exploring for my final project is the Abstract Tech aesthetic. This is very different from my upcycle project aesthetic, which was drawn from Steampunk.

Aesthetic Choice: Steampunk Steampunk is an aesthetic that focuses on industrialization in the early 19th century. It often includes mechanical elements such as gears and engines, and highlights the interest of developing technology in the early 19th century. It aims to combine nostalgia of the past as well as mechanical speculation and fantasy of the…

The aesthetic I chose for my upcycle project is Steampunk. This is characterized by bleak colors as well as a futuristic vision of the world based on a growing industrial complex. There is a lot of steam engines, flying machines, and metallic equipment that creates a futuristic vision of the world. After searching through some…

My upcycle project aesthetic is going to be inspired by the Steampunk aesthetic. As I went over in my last post, it will be difficult to adhere to common themes involved in Steampunk using the materials I have on hand, so I will rather base my aesthetic on Steampunk, but will not include certain elements…

My upcycling project will be the steampunk aesthetic. I really enjoy the metallic/mechanical aspect of this aesthetic. Being a mechanical engineering major, steampunk has always been one of my favorite aesthetics. The overarching goal of this project is to create a machine that I can convince people has the ability to function in a fantical…
