An artist named Niklas Roy created this beautiful object called Grafikdemo.
Notice how the green wire mesh teapot is slightly off screen? That’s because it’s not a visual display, it’s a real wire mesh teapot! Roy explains his process in an interview on Gizmodo:
When I started to build it, it was funny to recognizebthat I did everything in the same way and order, like if I would have done it with a 3D modeling software. The lighting was also an experiment: I wanted to let the wireframe model glow, but I don't really like the look of UV light, because It always has this cheap disco touch. So, I've put a green gel (maybe the better word is filter?) behind the monitor glass, which blocks the UV light. The result was that you only see the green wires but no blacklight.
How did he do such a damn nice job? There is a Youtube video but I can’t embed it in WordPress. My own website will be coming soon.
