I’ve been working on a TV cube prototype, which I could potentially use for my Video Sculpture and Materials midterms. I found a cheap portable DVD player at B&H which I dismantled to separate the LCD screen from the rest. I then swapped the cable connecting the DVD player to the screen for a longer one, and hooked it up to my foam-core cube from Materials.
Here is my first foam-core cube. It’s built out of a single piece of foam-core folded into the cube shape. This is actually what I based myself on for the Grade My Kiss display box, but it didn’t go very well the second time over.
