Mobius Ganesha
Einstein's Mig Wiggle
Einstein's Mig Wiggle
24" x 18" - Physically based rendering of 3d printed virtual sculpture - Dye sublimation print on aluminum panel
"Mobius Ganesha - Einstein's Mig Wiggle" is a single sided surface, like a Mobius strip, but more complex. This sculpture is an interpretation of a manifestation of Ganesha, the elephant-headed Hindu deity, who is the remover of obstacles. The piece also visualizes the intellectual integration of radically different concepts into singular understanding.
For this series I created a simulation of the nylon material used in 3D printing. The image above is a physically based rendering, or virtual photograph, of a simulation of the 3d printed virtual sculpture. Notice the scattering of the light through the translucent nylon material. In computer graphics, this property is called sub-surface scattering (SSS).
The concept behind this is the dissolution of traditional boundaries through technology. These pieces are simultaneously 2d, 3d, sculpture, painting, photography, photorealistic, abstract, real and virtual. They are ironic and meta.
