As Sam and I decided on a rough idea for the artefact design and how it will turn out, we each drew up some quick concepts of potential designs just to see how we could make it. It’s pretty much a little scope to figure out what we can try from here.

Basically these two designs are similar aside from the geometrical difference. There would have been a natural wood base, either square and straight or spherical, and a fitting lid. The lid would essentially have a built-in glass or acrylic base so that it would light up the ‘world map’ silhouette. This was more of a complex design that would have required an Arduino, a whole lot of coding and careful placement on the interior.

Considering there is less than a month until the end of the semester, we still have a lot of time to finish up on the installation. Sam is currently dealing with the laser-cutting of the base while we are both working on the work document. Sam has also thought to display a scrapbook with work and progress photos.
