Light Drift
LIGHT
DRIFT is a temporary interactive lighting installation along the edge of the
Schuylkill River that will draw viewers into a playful engagement with the
artwork, the river’s edge, and each other. The project creates a field of
lighting elements that are arrayed along the waterfront, with elements on land
and in the water.
The
lighting elements are shaped like orbs or buoys and are equipped with
electronics that allow them to respond to a viewer and to communicate with each
other. The orbs on land use sensors to detect the presence of a person and
relay a radio signal to the corresponding orbs in the water, allowing visitors
to transform the lighting behavior and color of the orbs in the river. As viewers engage and occupy the orbs along
the park, the grid of lights in the water becomes an index of the activities on
land. Multiple viewers can create intersections of linear patterns, encouraging
viewers to “play” with each other. These orbs bring the community together by
providing gathering spaces for watching the river turn into a flickering
constellation, creating new connections on the river’s edge.
Light
Drift creates an atmosphere, a field of lights that transform in color and
intensity based on the public interaction with it. The resting state of the
field is a constant state of green. When a visitor approaches a land orb, the
orb will start an “enticement mode” by pulsing between blue and green. If a
visitor sits on the orb, the pulsing will transition to a blue state. The water
orbs that align with the land orb, will change colors at the same time,
creating a linear extension of blue lights in the water. Because the orbs are
arranged on a diagonal grid, the lines of lit orbs will form a series of
intersecting lines in the field. The intersection of lines of lit orbs in the
water will encourage different people interacting with the orbs to also
interact with each other.
