RISD - Animated Glass [Spatial Spring (Freshmen 2015)]

Introduction
Animated Glass is a light animated stacking glass sculpture. The concept came from experientation with stacked glass. I realized that running a light through a stack of glass will illuminate each plane individually. So treating each pane as a frame, I made a stack of glass that progresively construct the RISD logo. Running a light through this stack will animate the process.
 
The stand is made from wood.
 
The design is not limited to the RISD logo. The animation can range from simple pattern stacking, logo animation, to character or story animation.
