Filming Device Further Experimentation: Light

In order to understand the movement of the device I decided to set up the apparatus at night in the dark and attach torches at either end of the 0.5 m timber which spirals up through the space.

A white light and red light were attached to either end of the 0.5 m timber respectively so that the motion can be understood

Apparatus set up (I suspended the device out of a window)

The following film captures the device in motion. The film captures how the spinning lights attached to the device interact with the architecture of the space, exposing the architecture which is otherwise in darkness. This is evident through the materials of the space, such as reflective surfaces which mirror the movement of the device. the device also exposes an understanding of the built environment, structures in close proximity to the device are illuminated and revealed through the movement of the device.
