Sunlight Table

Whilst browsing the 'rAndomInternational' website I came across this Sunlight Table that emits light and shade through optical fibres creating a grid on the table's surface from another input grid places on the window. This is then sensitive to moments of shade, rustling leaves outside and passing birds etc.

I like the notion of bringing something outside in, in order to create an environment that has a sense of ambient interaction. In turn, I could imagine this being translated in to my work as a way to represent the environment upon your own body by emitting a reflection of your current surroundings, or perhaps a delayed reaction that informs of where you have previously been.

In a similar way, this 'Talking Light' piece detects movement, measures it and then transforms it into light; projecting your reflection; and therefore inducing the similar patterns of behaviour that the many pieces at 'Decode' encouraged, particularly 'Body Paint'.

Morse is a Water Light Installation that is being developed to essentially display digital images and text through the use of coloured water and air in a tube. A single pump sends morse code in impulses with the water.
