Theme
Inspired by the Family Feast theme of the plant life and decorations, we wanted to maintain an ambiance of warmth and comfort by creating a subtle firelight display with the lights.
Narrative
When the visitor first enters the room, she will see flickering firelight in shades of yellow, orange, and red along both main walls.
Every other light array will be controlled by a knob control reminiscent of a fireplace knob, strung on the columns on the brick walls The visitor will be able to turn the knob to control the intensity of the connected firelight (the height of the flame).
We believe that having a directly interactive installation will delight visitors, but also help disperse foot traffic away from the central flower bed towards the outer walls.
Design
Inputs:
6 knob potentiometers (one per light fixture)
Every other light fixture will be attached to a potentiometer directly underneath on the brick wall. By default the lights will be set to a low-level array of white to yellow to orange to red. The potentiometer will map to the intensity of the light.
