Obsidian art project

publish Opened 2023-07-08 but I originally had the idea 2023-02-06. Related to Publishing this vault and My Obsidian setup.

I’d like to make a physical manifestation of my Obsidian vault. At the time of writing I envision a framed art piece. Obsidian’s graph view probably works well with that idea.

Clusters of ideas

Aka categories I can color-code/cluster in graph view

• Daily Journal
  • Maybe color differently based on the year? 2022/2023/2024/…
    • Alternatively: Use Residence history to mark the segments of my life where I lived in different places?

Stuff I tried / insights

First try

No need to use nested directories for colors (although that may a system worth adopting separately); regex works just fine.

Granular colors will need granular tagging though. Hm.

Reddit post

I made a Reddit post about this. Nothing useful in the comments :/

Dad’s suggestions from 2023-07-16

• Laser-engraved plexiglass + crayon idea

  • Engraving holds the crayon color quite well
    • However would need to commit to non-gradient crayon colors
  • Could do a layer of plexiglass per year
  • Pinocco cuts plexiglass and engrave it

• Backlight panels

  • Could backlight?

• Lithophane idea

  • Relatively cheap
  • 
  •
