I remember trying to make 3D shapes by stacking sheets of printed OHP film. They would have done this if I had polished the sides.

I seem to recall that Matthew Darbyshire has done a lot of formally similar work. I would guess those were made from coated polycarbonate sheets of some kind? It probably involved a lot of intricate work to figure out all that slicing and assembly; anyone who does that kind of thing deserves to have high-paying clients beating a path to their door.

Kind of like the transparent church in Belgium: https://www.google.com/search?tbm=isch&q=reading+between+the+lines+gijs+van+vaerenbergh

When in college I hit a few math classes where I realized my limit of comprehension was hit. It is very humbling. Tomography and electromagnetic calc were the high bars.
It’s cool to see physical medium artists doing what MRIs and CAT scans can do.

That first video was one of the most crap arty videos about an art piece I’ve seen in a while. Far too short a time between far too many jump cuts, and far too many tightly framed close-ups of small parts of otherwise undistinguished items, never actually getting to properly see the effect the artist has created.
Just get the thing in full frame and slowly walk round it with no cuts.

Agree. It was so bad that I could not even find a still to illustrate his work in it. The idiot who shot it completely missed the (vantage) point.

I scrolled through trying to find out what the red blob was, but I don’t think they ever showed the right angle?

It’s a red blob.
There is no right angle.
(Oh, and you’re probably looking at it wrong, too.)
