Technical Tree 1a: CD Tree

Definition: Technical:

 

1. Of, relating to, or derived from technique.

 

2.

a. Having special skill or practical knowledge especially in a mechanical or scientific field: a technical adviser.

b. Used in or peculiar to a specific field or profession; specialized: technical terminology.

 

3.

a. Belonging or relating to a particular subject: technical expertise.

b. Of, relating to, or involving the practical, mechanical, or industrial arts or the applied sciences: a technical school.

 

4.

a. Abstract or theoretical: a technical analysis.

b. Of, relating to, or employing the methodology of science; scientific.

 

5. According to principle; formal rather than practical: a technical advantage.

 

6. Industrial and mechanical; technological.

 

7. Relating to or based on analysis of market indicators, such as trading volume and fluctuations in securities prices, rather than underlying economic conditions such as corporate earnings, inflation, and unemployment: a technical correction in the stock market.

 

Idea: I was pretty confused with this one, because everyone seems to take this to mean technology, but it doesn’t. So with that definition in mind I realised that this tree could be made out of just about anything that was systematically placed or worked to form the shape of a tree in a far more skilled/difficult manner, or it could be number meaning no 6 "Technological". I thought I’d cover both.

 

This is my "Technological" or "Technology" tree.

 

Process: I made this tree from a whole lot of CDs that I placed on a table to form the shape of a stylised tree. Then I turned off the lights and tried to use the camera flash from above them to get a the best colour and light reflections from the CDs. The hardest part was getting the flash angle right.
