Create Beautiful Pixelated Shadows with this Rainbow Lightbox | Make:

The Rainbow Lightbox uses an array of mylar tubes to create beautiful pixelated shadows from colored light. I was inspired by Taizo Matsumura’s “Hikari no Hako” kit, which is a small paper box filled with mylar tubes. I created my own larger version with hundreds of mylar tubes and instead of relying on colored filters, as Matsumura’s kit did, I used multicolored light and shadows to create a unique effect that brings out every color of the rainbow.
