Tracking light motion




Experiment with green laser pointer

Third experiment with a green laser. This time I have noticed that with the camera I can track the light motion and the result is some interesting light patterns. This experiment made me think that there are certain kind of things that we can only see throught the eye of a camera. As an instance we can not see with our eyes the light beams that are depicted in the picture.
Before looking at Pablo Valbuena I was writing about virtual reality and how the physical space can be integrated with a fourth dimention, a projected layer as an instance. And it is interesting to see that certain realities exists only under certain conditions, like the laser beams become visible in water or the movement of light only through the eye of the camera.





Reflection of the laser in a bowl of water

In this experiment using laser pointers and a transparent bowl, I have noticed that the laser beams become visible when they are reflected in the water. The result is quite different from the previous one because this time the color of the bowl allow the light to be reflected; instead of a diffuse light we can see the lines of the laser beams.



Experiment with red laser pointers

Today i was just playing with some laser pointers. I put three of them on a string facing three white bowls filled up with water. Because the color of the bowls does not allow the light to be brefracted,the water becomes completely red as if there was some source of illumination from below. The result is a nice red diffused light that seems coming from the water.

Works that inspire me




Bruce Munro light installation

At this stage I am trying to have a look at artists that use light to create installations,to see what kind of materials and texture they use and get some sort of inspiration. The next step is gonna be learning how to animate lines in after effect and also I am gonna start experimenting with lasers.
Also I need to focus on some aspects of the area that could lead me to a solid design that is connected to the south bank.
