Hacking The Vinyl Cutter: Everything But Vinyl
When school went remote this semester, subtraction class could have been ruined. ITP was kind enough, however, to send us each a Silhouette Cameo 4 vinyl cutter. Since I received it, I have been doing almost daily experiments and involving it in almost all of my classes. My subtraction, light and interactivity, and pixel by pixel finals were all projects created using the cameo, all of which involve materials that are not normally vinyl cut.
Times Square Hue
Hue bulbs behind 3D dichroic filters behind lenticular lens cones controlled by live webcam data of Times Square.
Lenticular Platonic Solids
Lenticular lens cut on the vinyl cutter and assembled into platonic solids displayed on led matrix screens.
Dichroic Halftone Portraits
A processing sketch that outputs halftone vector images to be machined. In this case I vinyl cut a dichroic portrait.
Perlin Noise Plots
Creating spirals using Perlin noise and overlaying them to create moire effect patterns.
