Perf Panel Installation

Posted on April 5, 2012 by Nancy Cheng

We used Grasshopper to map (at a low resolution) images of vegetables onto a surface using varying sized ovals.  We then laser cut 20 chipboard panels and hung them in a composition.  These images show the affect with daytime backlighting.  The videos show the composition being used as a movie screen.
