Even more Ephemerisle art ideas
Sep. 14th, 2009 01:27 pmI like the patterns that light makes when reflected off water, and want to take advantage of that to make a very organic and hypnotic shadow theater. As people move objects around (or swim) in the middle area, lights reflect off the water and shine the ray-traced ripple pattern onto the walls. (During the day, mirrors can be used to achieve the same effect by reflecting the sun.

The visual effects will likely look like this, but much more interesting and complex since there will be broader waves and multiple lights.



Let me know your thoughts (or if you're interested in helping.

I have often wondered what would happen if they did some more bold social experiments with the city's layout. Unfortunately, the article doesn't quite address that question.
