ABSTRACT
Furthering the possibilities for creating unique yet inexpensive molds for forming plastics, Projectione developed a process which uses bubble wrap, inflated pillows between two thin layers of plastic. Each individual bubble can be deflated flat to create a hexagonal pattern across the sheet. The scale of the installation scale tiles matches that of the bubble wrap mold. The designers further developed the system by creating a wood tile system which emulated the effect but created a more durable mold. The geometry for this system can be accomplished through a variety of methods and controls, depending on the level of complexity desired. Traditionally a bit map is created using two colors of pixilation. However, other variations can be used, to limit the bit map to three or four colors, depending on the variety of different pixels desired. Adobe Photoshop and many other photo editing tools can be used to create bitmaps with a limited number of colors from any base image.
