"Light and Shadow" textures

Interconnected Parallel Projections

These are the sketchup models that I used to help me 

  draw the axonemetrics from 2 different angles. 

"Shadow as a threshold"

Shadow as a threshold investigates unknown places, where the obscure is concealed. I found this relevant to my design, as the scientists are investigating the unknown, they are overcoming the threshold and uncovering the obscure and boundary breaking. According to the text, "the shadow threshold velts both the understanding of self and of the self relationship to temperal and spacial boundaries." This is exactly what the scientists are achieving. I feel that the space they work in, acts as a threshold, allowing them to explore many realms. Furthermore, many of their scientific experiments are sensitive to light and shadow, and therefore the shadow velts understanding and sensitivity. Shadow transforms the space through the structure and material as it not only illuminates the space sculpturally, but highlights certain elements of it. 

Electroliquid Aggregation

No good aquarium, no tank in a marine land, however spacious, wishes it may be alone, can begin to duplicate the conditions of the sea. And no dolphin who inhabits one of those aquariums or one of those marine lands will not ensure peace[fulness] or can be considered normal.

"We are not all mad scientists. We are not all looking to clone ourselves. The positive benefits that this may have for human therapeutic medicine and improving the quality of life for people with certain genetic disorders."
