Feelings: 02.02.11

After battling with the light source we finally settled with the mains powered LED which gave us the best results for the conditions we were working in, ambient lighting.

I think as a whole we were really pleased we had managed to complete our installation ready for the art collectors view and really pleased with our end results.

This project for us is an ongoing experiment of natural forms, light, motion, wind, balance and reflections and as it stands in the Kinetica Arts fair we are definatly happy with its overall feel there are definatly a few things we would like to tinker with to give a greater result to what we are looking for , to allow the viewing to we mesmerised my its beauty and inquisitiveness of our such an kinetic sculpture works.

The mobile we would like to improve to allow more free motion, currently the wind and sail allow the LED light to bounce gently up and down but as the mains power cable restricts any circular motion we are not seeing the full potential of the light reflection, the shapes and evolving shapes that come with the up, down, left, right motion.

Kinetica Viewer "One of the nicest pieces in here"

Kinetica Viewer "By Far the best piece in here"

We also had a visit from a photographer who was very keen for us to visit his studio to experiment with our installation on a larger scale in his warehouse. He works as a fashion photographer and his studio space had very large white curved walls which would be ideal to project our light onto. We passed on his details to Ray, i think this would be a lovely extension to our project.

Another visitor expressed how he could imagine Candy and Candy loving our work as they are property developers and he could imagine our work in the corner of a show room.

Overall the comments were very positive people seemed mesmerised by the whole installation almost to a point of not understanding how such results are possible as if we had projected our 3D like image on to the canvas.
