Project 2: Cutting Line

The goal

Create a set of conditions by which you derive a series of paths using Illustrator, and realize a physical manifestation of these conditions using the laser cutters in the Brown Design Workshop. Take into consideration the physical properties of the material you choose to cut, and the power / speed settings. The resulting work can be presented in low relief (through changing settings and / or using a combination of raster and vector graphics) or high relief (by layering materials), or may reside within a nearly two-dimensional picture plane (with raster / vector graphics as a single pass).
