Even before digesting the concept of social interaction, I was inspired by a picture I encountered on twitter featuring one of my favorite musicians standing inside of a sculpture composed of flourescent tubes mounted on a spherical metal frame. One of the most interesting aspects of the sculpture was the use of the light tubes as both a directional device and an ambient light source. From this picture I began studying the works of Dan Flavin who's use of flourescent tubes is mostly sculptural. Exploring further I discovered the works of James Turell and Dough Wheeler who's use of light is more of an architectural device, something that manipulates our perception of space. Robert Irwin is another artist who's work bridged the gap between Turell/Wheeler's work and Flavin's focusing on both sculptural and ambient use of light. From my studies I constructed a small lighting model in which two electronic glow sticks light a face through two slits on either side of the face. In constructing and studying this model I discovered that light, when the source is not obvious, becomes more associated with space itself rather than an element within the space. This small process in light study led me to include ambient lighting in my construction.
