Construction and Tests




I constructed a smaller box to go on the inside of the larger box, suspended somehow inside. Each side of the box has a different pattern/texture/surface that relates or is interesting through the filter on that side. Above were the patterns and textures I trialed. 


This one was for the red cellophane. It was interesting how the red "disappeared" or blended into the background, changing the look of the pattern quite dramatically when viewed through the red cellophane


This one was viewed at the end of the kaleidoscope filter. Similar to what you see through a kaleidoscope normally, it was multiplied and flipped more, making it a very interesting yet confusing pattern.


Thin black and white vertical stripes were viewed through the liquid. The straight lines were warped, but only when held in certain positions, and this may be due to the shape of the container the liquid was in. It was also nice seeing the water line through the viewing hole, as the liquid line pulled down the image and warped it, yet you were able to see the straight lines at the top.


This hazy pattern was viewed through the pinhole viewer. The filter makes everything hazy so it was interesting to see something even hazier through this.


This was viewed through the tube. The tube was focused on the centre of this pattern, the most interesting view and therefore showed a selected view of the pattern.


This text was viewed through the magnification filter. Text has always been interesting through lenses, but it was important for the words to not be real words so the viewer did not get distracted and start reading the text. I trialed jumbled letters that did not make sense in a times font.
