idea development

Since my topic is light pollution, I try to relate the main and major contributor in light pollution in my installation. Thus, I use 5 element; car, building, spotlight, street light, billboard light. I also use LED light represent star in the sky during nighttime.  

1st idea

My 1st idea is create 5 buttons that link to switch off the light inside the 5 sculpture. Behide the 5 sculpture, it is semi sphere and inside in it LED light. The installation works as when the button been click, the light in the sculpture will turn off and some of the LED light will turn on.

2nd idea

The 2nd idea have same function with the 1st idea. Using buttons to interaction with the installation. The different in 2nd idea is, a projector that will project star image when the button is push and the light inside the sculpture turn off. Star image will increase as the light inside the sculpture is turn off.

3rd idea

For my 3rd idea, I change the interaction method from push the button into camera sensor. The LED light setups also change. The LED light will be hanging on the ceiling. It will give the feeling of looking at the star. The interaction is when the user uses their hand to cover the light from the sculpture; the LED light will turn on. The more light from the sculpture been cover, the more LED light will turn on.

4th idea

my 4th idea similar with the 3rd idea. However, i want to relate my installation with my artist statement. i want to create awareness about light pollution, which in order to reduce light pollution more than one hand is needed. that is why the 5 sculpture arrange on its own stands. it show, one hand can not cover all the major elements contributor in light pollution.
