For my main project, I am planning to use the psychedelic theme, modified to fit within the Rick and Morty themes created in the show. Please see my Design Review post for more information. For this post I am exploring three other aesthetic options to use in my final project: steam punk, supernormal stimuli, and a…

I used the psychedelic aesthetic for my upcycle project, and I am interested in exploring it further. I am planning to go to a music festival this summer that uses a similar theme, and I would like to make a piece to bring with me. There is an artifact known as a Totem that many people…

The above videos are demonstrations of my Upcycle project in action. I enjoy learning about lighting and stage design. For my upcycle project, I created a miniature scale electronic dance music (EDM) projection stage. A projection stage is generally a structure with three-dimensional surfaces on top of which images are projected from a video projector. Projection stages are…

For my upcycle project, I am building a projection stage, which is essentially a scale model of a large electronic dance music stage. It consists of three-dimensional platforms which create space to display projections, as well as an area where a DJ booth would be placed. The entire stage is made out of cardboard and printer paper. My design loop…

The effect is that the light shows displayed from psychedelically designed stages create a deeply…
