• Concept
As light travels through space, it is reflected and absorbed by each object, thus highlighting the different shapes, colors, and sensations we see.
• Process
We chose different shapes such as (octagon, triangle, and smiley face, etc.) to represent the different objects, visuals, and feelings light creates.
During the process, we laser cut the transparent acrylic board to fabricate an open box and glued the shapes on the top face, so the participant could have different views of the installation from all 4 sides of perspectives.
The lights were fixed to the top so it would be “hidden” and the audience would only see the “objects” as the source of light instead of the LEDs directly.
The challenge we encountered involved aligning the shapes precisely with the light source. Only when the edges of the boards were positioned directly in the path of the light could they radiate their maximum brightness. Additionally, coming up with different forms of light change was also time-consuming.
