3D Wiremap!
A 3D what you say?! One of the many projects we saw at The Last HOPE was the 3D Wiremap by Albert Hwang. The Wiremap, pictured above, is a surreal 3D display made with fishing wire. Yes, that’s right, I said fishing wire. Albert describes it as follows:
The projector throws its beam on an array of vertical wires. From the projector’s single-point perspective, all the wires are evenly spaced from one another. However, due to the randomized dimension of depth, from any other perspective, the wires create a 3d map… The result is a floating, glowing 3d object made entirely of light.

[...] Resistor has some info about the 3D Wiremap demo, one of my favorite exhibits, shown [...]
Word! Thanks for the posting!
I’d just like to make a quick correction. It’s not actually fishing wire - it’s regular ol’ cotton thread. Heh, yeah, that’s right, I said cotton thread.
Anyhow, as I live in NYC I’ll definitely have to drop on by your space sometime real soon.
Thanks again.
