Babel Light

Babel Light explores the relationship between light scattering, toolpath tessellation, and variable material deposition in ceramic 3D printing.

Material deposition is controlled by a variable extrusion domain that changes relative to a given position on the prototype.

As extrusion increases, more material is deposited. If this occurs in geometric voids, the unsupported clay will sag, resulting in more significant plastic deformation.

Different degrees of plastic deformation cause changes in the brightness level of the part from top to bottom. The final Babel Light prototype was conceived as a standing lamp with a steel bracket that tapers upwards, mimicking the shape of a screen.
