Atmosphere of the Installation

It is useful to consider the atmosphere of the installation, and how I want the installation to 'feel' during the presentation. The installation will be presented in studio 1 at university, which is a large space. This will affect how the project is perceived and how the users see the light. The space will also be relatively quiet which will also effect the presentation.

As the users enter the space they will be greeted by the structure with one column of light dissecting the darkness of the rest of the room. I hope that this will be quite enchanting and appealing, and the users will then be invited (one at a time) to move towards the light and explore the space. The light will appear quite mysterious, especially as the rest of the room will appear misty due to the use of haze. I hope that the quietness will add to the exploratory sense of the work, as the user will feel quite alone in the darkness, with only the columns of light to explore. I have been involved in other sensory projects and have found that such works offer the user a more rewarding experience when they are on their own, as they generally feel freer to explore. I think that the piece will appear quite magical and connote ideas of science fiction. The light will hopefully appear crisp, which will be visually stunning. I want the users to want to explore the light, to move towards the columns at investigate them further.
