CA 2182997

A sculpture (10) provided with a concavity (16) carrying a relief negative impression (18) of a formation representing a true object, the formu- tion having selected features of proportion: ratio selectively of height: width, of length: width and of depth: width different (1.3:1) compared to the corresponding proportion: ratio of the true object as 1:1. Observation of the sculpture (10) under il- lumination by a moving observer evokes to the ob- server, a three-dimensional virtual illusion of move- ment where the sculpture appears to move in the direction of movement of the observer. A process of forming the sculpture (10) includes the steps of forming sculpted copy of the formation; forming a first alginate/plaster mold carrying a negative relief impression of the formation: forming a second al- ginate/plaster mold using the first mold, the second mold carrying a positive relief impression of the negative relief impression of the first mold, there- after casting using the second mold thereby forming the sculpture.

L'invention présente une sculpture (10) pourvue d'une concavité (16) portant une impression négative en relief (18) d'une structure représentant un objet réel. Cette structure a des caractéristiques choisies dans une relation de proportions, respectivement, hauteur/largeur, longueur/largeur et profondeur/largeur, en l'occurrence de 1,3 pour 1, qui diffère de la relation de proportions correspondante de l'objet réel qui est de 1 pour 1. Si un observateur en mouvement contemple cette sculpture (10), une fois éclairée, il est en proie à une illusion virtuelle tridimensionnelle d'un mouvement, la sculpture semblant se déplacer en suivant ses propres mouvements. Un procédé de fabrication de cette sculpture (10) comprend les étages suivantes: fabrication d'une copie sculptée de la structure, constitution d'un premier moule alginate/plâtre portant une impression négative en relief de la structure; constitution d'un second moule alginate/plâtre à partir du premier, celui-là portant une impression positive en relief de l'impression négative en relief de celui-ci et, à la suite de ces opérations, moulage à l'aide du second moule, ce qui permettra d'obtenir la sculpture.
