Light Leaks

I came across an informative article on a guide to projectors in interactive installations on the website Creative Applications Network. The website itself is a useful resource on digital art. The work below was created by the digital artists Kyle Macdonald and Jonas Jongejan using three projectors directed at a pile of disco balls and computer mapping. 



                                     


This work reminds me of Kusama's Infinity Room but has the added element of motion and duration. The final work has the effect of a dramatic light show with the motion of graphical elements featuring in the work. I think I like the idea of the light effects having a more natural motion and for the movement of the lights to be 'interrupted' by the movement of people in the space. The room is also very dark so that the projected light really stands out. In fact most of projected light works I have seen  are set in relatively dark spaces but I am quite keen to have the work affected by the quality of 'natural' light in the setting of the work i.e. during daylight the work is very subtle but as the level of natural light falls the work become more pronounced.
