experiment with
projection microscope and acrylic colour
between two glass slides


2023

performance


materials:
  • grey acrylic colour
  • water
  • glass slides
  • projection microscope

phenomena:
  • acrylic colour blocking light (expected)
  • formation of bubbles from air inclusion (expected)
  • movement and deformation of bubbles due to shear stress when glass slides are moved (expected)
  • little protrusions forming from bubble edges and connecting to opposite (unexpected)
This experiment is a variation based on „experiment with halogen bulb in acrylic coloured water“. I was curious to play with the same key elements: acrylic color and light. The reduced scale and different experimental setup allow other phenomena to emerge from the same actants.
