Description

 The proposal relates to such a direction of decorative art as installation, which synthesizes painting, sculpture and other forms of art.

 The objective of this proposal is to create a new type of spatial-visual objects, not reducible either to their volumetric form, or to images forming this surface, but which are a synthesis of form and virtual space.

 The concept of this approach is the uniqueness and non-reproducibility of an object at every moment in space-time.

 The prior art device for demonstrating groups of dynamic images connected together, containing a set of flat segments coated with a liquid crystal substance, which changes the color of the outer surface depending on the outside temperature. Flat segments are inserted in accordance with a given pattern in the frame (US 4932147, G 09 F 9/00, 1990).

 The disadvantages of this device include its bulkiness, the complexity of manufacturing and small visual capabilities.

 Closest to the proposal is an optically variable device of type-setting ornament, which may contain a temporary sequence of situations. The device contains a carrier element in the form of raster fields, in the cells of which are installed image forming optically active diffraction elements having a relief structure (RU 2071920, class B 44 F 1/12, 1997).

 The disadvantage of this device is the weak decorative and pictorial capabilities, as well as the non-provision of a decorative effect on uneven surfaces of voluminous objects.

 The technical result of the proposal is to expand the scope of spectator perception, including three-dimensional objects, and enhance the emotional impact on the viewer, as well as to provide a decorative effect on uneven surfaces of volume objects.

 The essence of the proposal lies in the fact that, as in the closest analogue, the device for reproducing dynamic images includes a supporting element with cells in which the decorative elements forming the image are installed, but unlike the closest analogue, the supporting element is formed on at least part of the surface of the device, and each decorative element is a visualizing screen configured to deform it, connected to a video information carrier for supplying a pre assigned him the video. The supporting element may be in the form of a frame or it may itself be the outer surface of the device.

 The imaging screen contains electro-optical reproducing material. The specified screen may be liquid crystal or plasma.

 Visualizing screens can be a series of modular elements installed in the cells of the supporting element. They can have a various shape, for example, in the form of a circle, oval, polygon, flakes, etc.

 If the device is made three-dimensional with a case, the video information medium can be placed both outside the device and inside its case.

 The device includes a program control unit connected to a video information medium, and the program for supplying video images to the device screens makes its surface constantly changing and carries various visual and textual loads.

 The use of video-bearing surfaces can be, for example, a new type of sculptural material, which, unlike traditional means (bronze, gypsum, wood, etc.) introduces a quality such as a constantly changing surface into a planar or three-dimensional object, creating a visual multidimensionality of the object. This fundamentally expands the scope of the audience perception of the object. For the observer, this is no longer a sculpture, since an ever-changing surface gives the object a new quality.

 The device can use both deformed and flat visualizing screens. The choice of screen shape depends on the nature of a particular surface of the object.

 Video-bearing materials used as a surface can be used on any object that has a body and a reinforcing frame or a supporting frame with cells for screens.

 The proposal is illustrated by drawings, where in FIG. 1 shows a fragment of a curved surface of a housing of a device with flat cells; FIG. 1a is a planar imaging screen; FIG. 2 - the same with deformed cells, in FIG. 2a is a curved screen, in FIG. 3 shows the fastening of screens in the form of flakes on the bearing surface of the device; FIG. 3a shows a flake-shaped screen module, FIG. 3b - cell for attaching the screen of FIG. 3a, in FIG. 3c is the reverse side of the surface of FIG. 3, in FIG. 4 - a supporting element in the form of a frame, in FIG. 4a is a screen module in the form of a polygon, in FIG. 4b, c - variants of the reverse sides of the module of FIG. 4a, in FIG. 4d - the module of FIG. 4a (side view), in FIG. 5-14 - embodiments of the device.

 In an embodiment of the carrier element 1 in one piece with the outer surface of the device case (Figs. 1-3), cells 2 are formed in it for installation in each of them of a visualizing screen 3 made of electro-optical reproducing material, which can be initially flat (Fig. 1a, 3a) or curved (Fig. 2a), depending on the outer surface of the device’s body. Also, the screen 3 is made with the possibility of its deformation in the manufacturing process of the device. The screen 3 is connected to the video information carrier (not shown) by a cable 4, which passes through the holes made in the cells 2. In an embodiment of the device with a scaly surface 6 (Fig. 3), the modules 3 (Fig. 3a) can be connected in series, as shown in FIG. 3c. A scaly surface is used to create some kind of kinetic objects with an elastic and curved surface. The modules of the imaging screens 3 can be installed in the cells of the frame 7 (Fig. 4). These modules can have, for example, the shape of a hexagon (Fig. 4a), on the reverse side of which there is a zone 8 of contact with the cable (Fig. 4b) or the connection of the cable 4 to the screen 3 is carried out similarly to the above (Fig. 4c). The lateral faces of the hexagonal module can be located at an angle α to its base (Fig. 4d).

 The design of the proposed device depends on its purpose (design, architecture, sculpture, advertising, information, etc.). In FIG. 5-14, some uses of the device for decorative and visual purposes are presented, for example, as sculptures, at least on a part of the surface of which a supporting element with visualizing screens is formed. However, the proposed device can be made in the form of information and / or advertising panels having a set of individual elements in the form of visualizing screens that make up the desired image.

 Also, the device can find application in decorating the interiors of various rooms, including museum exhibits and discos, in psychological relief rooms, in window advertising, as well as in creating optical illusions and various in structure video effects, distinguishable from large distances and used in various entertainment events.
