Concept #1<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

My first concept I have decided would require a bit too much money and time to create for this class, but I still love the idea so I’m including it. Maybe someone else will get another idea from it, so it’s worth sharing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I wanted to use Chul-Hyun Ahn’s style of infinity mirrors and strategic use of one way mirrors with those tubes of light. For my concept, I would probably use LED strips with diffusers around them, because I would need to be able to control the individual LEDs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I would create a small hexagonal room, like if you were to just join 6 doors together. On the ceiling of the tiny room would be a true mirror, the ones where you are not looking at a mirrored version of yourself but a mirrored version of that. It is a “mirror” but you can look into the same eye you are looking with, which you can’t do normally. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

All of the walls inside would be mirrors, and possibly a few layers deep of some one way mirrors so the reflection of the person inside the room would not be shown.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The LED strips would vertically line all six corners of the room. The idea was to have each LED strip send down one “drop” of light falling from the ceiling, not in sync but at different times than each other.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

With the infinity mirror effect, and the LEDs sending down the flashes of lights, the goal was to have it look like you were standing in the middle of a rainstorm of light. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
