SPLIT SPIRAL — a sculpture by Ray King

SPLIT SPIRAL — a sculpture by Ray King from In Secret Agreement on Vimeo.


SPLIT SPIRAL — USTAR Innovation Center, Utah State University, North Logan, Utah
Sculpture by Ray King
Film by Julian King
Music and Sound Design by Omar Jon Ajluni
SplitSpiral is an exterior wall-mounted sculpture that consists of a metal armature of curved stainless steel pipes and holographic glass discs arranged in criss-crossing Fibonacci spiral pattern that wraps the South East corner of the façade of the USTAR Innovation Science Center. The visual transformation of light into color represents a dialogue or communication between the artwork and the power of the sun.
Dimensions:
33’ h x 33’ w x 1’ d / 10m x 10m x .3m
Material:
Holographic Glass, Stainless Steel

City in the sky

City in the sky from Tsvetan T on Vimeo.


"City in the sky" is a concept about an imaginary tranquil oasis above the mega developed and polluted city where one can escape from the everyday noise and stress. The concept is inspired by the Lotus flower which is known for its ability to emerge above the murky waters pure and clean.

Construct a Geodesic Dome


This video explains how to construct a model of a geodesic dome from card and paper. Some dome history and theory is also included. A good resource for teaching structures and mechanisms.



This animation presents the geometry that is the basis of many of Fuller's key ideas and concepts. At the beginning, twelve spheres are packed as closely as possible around a single central sphere. As the spheres shrink and disappear, they generate a polyhedron in which all edges and all radii are of equal length. This shape is what Fuller called a vector equilibrium. One of the characteristics of a vector equilibrium is its ability to contract by folding in on itself. The animation demonstrates how this simple geometric shape can be transformed to create several complex polyhedra. Next, it produces a different version of a vector equilibrium that Fuller called tensegrity—short for a stable structure of tensional integrity. In the last part of the animation, a map of the entire globe is transferred onto the vector equilibrium, which unfolds to produce a flat map of the earth made from six squares and eight triangles. Unlike conventional world maps, Fuller's vector equilibrium map represents the world with minimal distortions to the relative size of the continents.
