My topic is about light pollution. I
got the idea of this topic when I started doing my mind mapping for urbanism.
After doing some research on the topic, I start to realize that light can be
one of the pollution that I have never been aware of. One of the effects of
light pollution is sky glow. Sky glow can destroy the beauties of stars during
nighttime. It is an interesting topic and I have completed my research on this topic,
as it will be used for my final.
My installation is base on the topic
of light pollution. There will be five sculptures; car, lights Street,
billboard / advertisement board, building and spotlight / airport light. Based
on my research, this type of light is the major contributor in light pollution.
The installation works when users cover the light with their hand, the LED
light (act as stars) that installed on the ceiling will brighten up. Since
there will be five different type of sculpture, it will be more than one user
to cover those sculpture. The reason why it needs more that one hand, it is
because to reduce light pollution, more than one person needs to contribute. My
installation is not just to tell user that light can be pollution but it is
also to give awareness to reduce light pollution, and more than one hand is
needed.
