For this project we had to make something about the Exploratorium. I really like the Exploratorium, and this project gave me the perfect excuse to go for a visit. I stopped by on a weekend and took a bunch of pictures to get a feel for the place.

After going to the Exploratorium, I really felt that it was a place to explore! There are so many cool things, and it’s hard to pin it down to just a few words. So I thought that I’d try to tell a story that had different facets of the Exploratorium. As usual, I started by sketching.

I was thinking about a robot arm!

By the time I was done with this project, I was thinking I could express it another way. So in a spur of the moment move, I made a second piece. The rules for this assignment stated that the majority of the work had to be done in Cinema 4D, but I wanted to play with a flat look. So I made a pure luminance material for my 3D objects. I was thinking because this piece was flat, it would allow the viewer to use more of their imagination.
