The idea I've chosen to move forward with focuses on the unique affect of light in the outdoors. The first component is a sculptural lightbulb-like object that when taken outdoors and "activated" in some way (by button press, twisting into a special socket, etc) captures data about the natural light in the location where the user stands. I might gather data by actually sensing light or using a camera, or I might use geographic data to pull images or data for visualization from the internet. I might use a combination of both.
The lightbulb (lightsculp?) can then be brought inside and screwed into another sculptural object-- a lighting fixture of some sort. Right now I am envisioning a very typical lamp shape with a white shade. When the bulb is fully screwed into the lamp, a 360-degree projecting generated from the outdoor light will be cast onto the lamp.
The 360 projection will present technical challenges that I am curious to solve. By our Tuesday class, I will have meditated further on what the aspects of this project signify. A clearer and richer exposition of concept will guide my aesthetic choices for these sculptures.
