new analogy of the cave

An empty room is divided into sections with hanging screen walls. In the middle of one of the sections is a row of lighting. When a user walks into that section the lights start randomly flashing, causing shadows to be projected onto the screens behind. Because the angles of the light projected onto the scren differ from each other, it causes the shadow of the person to bounce around on the screen. A viewer on the other side of the screen will then see the person shifting around in space as the various lights blink.

As part of LIGHTSCAPES workshop lead by James Clar and Scott Fitzegerald. Sponsored by Philips in the Art Production Center Hangar, during ARQUISET’s Architecture Week in Barcelona.

A project made in collaboration with Josep M. Civit.
