빛과 그림자를 이용한 가변형상 제작에 관한 연구 2 - 디지털 기술의 적용을 중심으로 -

Abstract

Modeling with light allows for many new ways of expression due to the variety in the way light can be used. Technological developments in the 21st century including digital media technology has expanded its influence in areas of art and design as well as our daily lives. This paper applies digital technology to the work process of creating a variable figure shape using shadows explored in previous research. As such, the purpose of this paper is to provide the algorithm necessary for creating a Variable Figure using shadows with a computer. In this paper, chapters 1 and 2 categorizes and researches the background and expressive forms of various shadow modeling; chapters 3 illustrates the production structure for Variable Figures using shadow and its geometrical calculation of algorithm; and chapter 4 presents the process of producing forms and shadows by setting its shape, height, distance, and quantity in a computer to create the intended image in a computer using the algorithm and thus, proves its validity by creating an actual work. This research will reduce many trial and errors in creating Variable Figures using shadows by combining digital technology to the process and allowing for a reduction in production time and convenient production method, and as a result, lead to a larger application of Variable Figures in various areas. In addition, it is hoped that the present paper will bring new value creation in terms of art and design using digital technology.
