Sallys Update: 15.01.11

Great progress made regarding the use of mains powered LEDs as a light source. e.g.:

After several experiments with various LED types and different voltages it became apparent that a single LED provided equal or very similar results to the use of the iPhone has created the brightest and clearest image to date.
-
The considerations of using a single LED are advantageous in terms of achieving a 'clean, simple, minimal, floating aesthetic'.
-
Positioning of 'screen' at a 45 degree angle in order that the maximum viewing impact may be achieved and from as many vantages as possible - above, below and from a 'normal' gallery viewing perspective. -Also to further incorporate the overall intended 'aesthetic of 'weightlessness' which the appearance of the organza at this angle creates.
-
Discussion took place concerning the method of movement of the light-source by way of using fans which is favoured strongly by the group . Also the possible use of a mobile structure and the careful use of balance, to further enhance the range of movement in order to achieve the optimal image.

I also really love the use of a pendular motion of movement of the source of light which may yet be used solely or in combination with a 'mobile form', so as to introduce the metaphor of time, which is very appropriate to the overall ideas of the natural forces of life which the installation intends to present to the viewer.
