Anatomical Heart Lamp


There were a lot of interesting ideas included in the analysis of my objects as they were not thoroughly developed. This actually helped me to get a lot more feedback on my project. In regards to my groups influence on the designs created, I choose completely different for my project which was a lamp that was based  on biological shapes which also influenced the design. They did However influence the general progression in developing it as the request was to actually complete the lamp with a shade and stand that fit with the organic origins.
The lamp shade is actually made to be melted and deformed which i thought was a unique design in regards to the aspects of it being much more Victorian and a much older design style.This is a clarinet stand however i found the shape to be very unorthodox and again quite unique however i needed something more organic so when in mesh mixer i just added some extra designs that formed a much more organic and flowing shape to match the original lamp. This was a cellular lamp on thingiverse and i was very interested in the form of this object and how to create something like this and it also allowed me to create the supporting pieces for the lamp shade
The heart that i found for this was actually hollow and also it was clear and see through which for whatever reason made me think of a light bulb which prompted me to add it inside of the cellular lamp that was on thingiverse which resulted in a cage like appearance and i really thought this was uniquer for a lamp design

Appropriating objects and designs is a very interesting concept in today’s age,  as artists pushing boundaries to their limits and beyond those boundaries is almost an expectation. I think that it’s interesting, copyright laws exist because of artists which is quite ironic in its own peculiar way. so when we actually do something involving it for a project in combining shapes, objects and 3D designs the most unique things come out of the amalgamation. In this case the project involved two or more designs and in my case it was five with a little creation and improvisation. Creating a body of work solely with either work is quite unique and very much unheard of today. The idea of purposefully creating with no intention of really allowing another creator to gain anything other than a small participation in a design is very interesting. The other consideration is that when you allow people to collaborate there are thousands of ideas that present themselves but always with a tint of personality and self-involvement which alters them until perfected or discarded. This works exactly like the objects when they function together, or in certain cases create interesting juxtaposition. The way that people view derivative projects is also very unique as the reaction is determined exactly the same way as collaboration. Having two objects that may never have made sense create something new is a very cool effect and I think all of this is important when remixing, creating and combining.
