Light adaptation

Sensitivity of the human photonic visual system declines with increasing ambient intensity. Sensitivity regulation is part of a process called 'light adaptation'. this process stabilises object appearance across illuminated conditions.
Abstract Masking, a process in which the stimulus visibility can be reduced by other stimuli that overlap the same region of visual space, a process known as masking.
Light phenomena enhances the details of your surroundings.
Visualising a dimension we wouldn't usually perceive.

Thoughts about visualising a space, creating a fabricated environment consisting of the sensory elements. A different space for each element, creating separate synthetic worlds that will cause the audience to engage with their senses in a new and unique way, to provide a journey of thought into an alternative reality.

Glow bricks

Experimenting with resin, entrapping glow in the dark paint within the resin layers. Creating brick like forms that could possibly be used as location markers for the Festival.

Intangibility

I thought this film related well to the intangible element to our ideas, the smoke is made visible by the lighting and it seems to have a ghostly presence as it moves across the room.

Light Illuions

Research into the effects of luminosity of lighting.

Pupils constrict wen we look at a brighter object from increased luminosity. we construct partly illusory perceptions that help us function better. Various light phenomena help us see details in our surroundings much better. Many illusions reflect the best interpretation we have of visual information. Maybe what we see is better than reality..

Night Walk

As a group we decided it would be a good idea as our ideas were generally focused on events and happenings in darkness that we should go on a night walk around the city to familiarise ourselves with the spaces available to us. During the night time spaces and places appear somewhat different than they do during the day, darkness can make you question a place more, possibly confusing you to think how much you truly know that place.
The night walk was a really useful way to start generating our ideas, we took with us a section of objects to incorporate into the spaces such as glow sticks and bubbles. In the images I increased the exposure to reveal the markings made by the lights, revealing the light from dark. We also carried out an experiment using bubbles within the Cathedral Gardens fountain area, the bubbles reflected off the water creating streams of colours within the images. The use of the bubbles related well to the intangible ideas we had been thinking about.

Group 3 Manifesto

- playing with the elements of light.
-the effects of the senses during the night/ darkness
- making something that could encourage people to interact with one another (magnetic wristbands) and tracking devices.
- leading people by light.
- the idea of happenings, rather than having specific set events.
- Ghost spaces, thinking about intangible events.

 

Manifesto Words...

- Intangibility
- Senses
- Organic
- Spontaneity
... - The appeal of the unknown
- Interaction
- Creativity
- Growth and momentum
- Temporary
- Counter intuition



Future Everything

In relation to the topics we have been considering within our group. A night festival, or events in darkness. As part of the Future Everything Festival I attended the Speed of Light event and the imagery from the event I think could be a relevant link to our group discussions.
