Hi Steemit community,
He I am with my entry for the
In this opportunity, my inspiration was the contemporary Japanese artist Yayoi Kusama and hers “polka dots rooms”.

Yayoi Kusama

Japanese artist well known for her use of dense patterns of polka dots and nets, as well as her intense, large-scale environments, Yayoi Kusama works in a variety of media, including painting, drawing, sculpture, film, performance, and immersive installation.
Born in Japan in 1929, Kusama went to the United States in 1957 and quickly found herself at the epicenter of the New York avant-garde. After achieving fame through groundbreaking exhibitions and art “happenings,” she returned to her native country in 1973 and is now one of Japan’s most prominent contemporary artists.

Dots Obsession

Yayoi Kusama’s ‘Dots Obsession’ series of installations reconfigures her trademark polka dots and mirrors — along with huge, amorphous inflatable objects — in response to specific sites. As with Reach Up to the Universe, Dotted Pumpkin 2011, reflection is presented in two modes: formally, in the continuity of the balloons’ red-and-white polka-dot pattern on the gallery walls, floor and ceiling, and in the infinite effect created by floor-to-ceiling mirrors. Both installations incorporate the viewer as a crucial element.

Dots Obsession visually approximates the hallucinations Kusama reportedly suffered as a child, in which the entirety of her surrounding space was covered with repeating patterns. The installation also reveals the artist’s careful attention to the construction of space through colour and form, and to the play of light and perspective accomplished by repeating a few simple devices — creating an immersive experience from red paint, white dots, giant balloons and strategically placed mirrors.

By the late 1960s, the polka dots had developed into a strategy of what the artist described as ‘self-obliteration’. A prominent feature of her ‘happenings’ and performances of the period, and usually daubed onto the bodies of participants, they symbolically neutralised the ego, which Kusama blamed for the horror and destruction of the US–Vietnam War. She urged at the time:

Obliterate your personality with polka dots. Become one with eternity. Become part of your environment. Take off your clothes. Forget yourself. Make Love. Self-destruction is the only way to peace.

Process:

In this occasion I used Ai, 3DsMax and Photoshop to get to the final result.

-. The first step was work on the pattern of the dots using the IOTA Logo. For this, I used Ai.

-. Them, I went to 3D Max Studio Program, and set the location (the room). I added son Torus Figures, and spheres to set as sculptures.

-. Finally I added the pattern as a material. Not only for walls but also for the sculptures figures.
I was necessary set the parameters for each figure in order to verify the most correct view of the pattern and the lighting of the scene.
