= The Concept =

Light is a form of electro-magnetic rediation, one of the fundamental forces
of nature. At a fundamental (quatum) level, light is both particle and wave.
This work takes light from visitors phones or other small lights and uses
that as input for a artistic simulation of how light bounces around.

= The Theme =

The work contemplate the properties of light.

= The visitor Experience =

Visitors see a number pillars that 'capture' light and overhead a large collecti
on of lights that provide the simulation.

= The Technical Principle =

The main construction consists of empty water bottles fitted out with RGB leds.
This provides a grid that can be used as display.

Between this grid and the ground are a number of pillars. Each pillar has a
light sensor that can be used to visitors to provide the trigger, and small LED
grid that provides the visitor with feedback and an RGB LED strip that connects
the light from the small LED grid to the main grid.
