The Path (2004)
Interactive light installation
Lights, sensors, electronics, luminescent
materials
As a viewer enters the darkened installation space, they pass
by a motion sensor and trigger a spotlight. The spotlight is
aimed at a small spot on the floor that is painted with
special glow-in-the-dark paint. As the viewers pass by the
sensor and trigger the light, the light “charges” this spot
on the floor for a few seconds. Viewers are encouraged to
walk towards the glowing spot, allowing the first light to
time off. As they make their way towards this spot, they will
trigger another light to illuminate and charge another spot,
for a few seconds, at another location in the room. On their
route to the third spot, they will trigger a fourth spot, and
so on. The Path leads the viewers through the space via a
secret glowing path.
