Project 2 : 3D Model #1 : Observe

BACKGROUND: As a class, we had an interactive brainstorm via iChat, it proved to be an interesting and fun experience. We each selected a word, mine was observe (hence the written narrative on "Observe"). During the brainstorm, we did a "What if..." scenario for each word, creating quite obscure lists. We then had to chose one of our "What if's" and build a 3D model of it in 2 hours.

My chosen "What if" was: "What if OBSERVATION was seven dimensions of experience."

These cubes represent this phrase. I found that there are scientific and mathematical theories supporting the notion that we actually live in 7 dimensions rather than 3. Those dimension are (if your curious) the 3 spacial dimensions of length, height, width, the concept of time and then 3 non-physical dimensions which can be defined several ways depending on what you are reading, but I found mass-energy, knowledge, and spirituality to be the most convincing. The seven cubes represent the different dimensions, the various sizes of cubes represent the dimensions dependent on the given experience.

MATERIALS USED: Glue, String, Wax Paper, Clear packing tape
TIME: The collective time of drying, thinking and building accumulates to more than 2 hours. Building took at least 3...I guess I broke the rules.
