Brief For The Porosity Lens

I intend to convey movement and time through space using the triggering of lights. Light is a wavelength which is visible to the human eye and reflects the notion of movement as a recording tool. Optics are used in cameras and communications therefore it seems appropriate to engage light in a project conveying navigation. The project will be dependent on the use of triggers in flowgraphs to enable and disable the lights. Delay nodes will give the power to reflect on the movement which has occurred.

The setting of a scene is important to maximising the effect of the Porosity Lens. I have chosen to implement my experiments in a snow scene for three reasons. Firstly, the falling of snow artistically creates a notion of passing time and of movement. Secondly, fallen snow creates footprints of a persons movement through space. Thirdly, it provides a neutral canvas to display colour to its maximum effect, colour being the visualisation of physics on objects in an environment. The time of day is night time to give the lights maximum visibility. A frozen lake in the centre of the experiment area artistically gives the scene a 'control' as such of 'frozen' or 'static' movement.

I intend to use the given railway station for the majority, if not all, objects that are required in my project. This presents an artistic challenge and allows me to concentrate on creating flowgraphs and experimental areas. By breaking up the railway station, the notion of porosity is taken down to the level of the focus object.
