In this project we were given the task of creating a dynamic light that projects an image onto the surrounding environment. The size of the image had to be a minimum of 5m x 4m and was not allowed to use any video software. My chosen directing was the use and combination of water and sound to create an interactive and dynamic experience, through the use of Cymatic frequencies; which is the use of sound waves to alter the waters surface structure to create water that dances. 

In the early stages of the project we had to do research on existing lights, what they projected and their form factor.

In this research board I looked at the use of shadows and way in which the shadows created shapes and altered surfaces, either to create depth or to alter a surface in simple and evocative ways.

In this portion, i looked at colour theory and how the use of colour can evoke a mode or feeling and use it to create an emotional association for the audience. The use of vibrant alternating colours in succession allows the user to experience a full range of emotions and the use of upbeat music helped to persuade the audience into a positive and upbeat mood,  

Red and Blue provoke a sexual desire feeding on our animal urges, and heightening our senses 

Looking at some existing installations and their use of colour and dynamic themes.

These are part of exhibitions, and use a combination of materials such as string , mirrors, and sensors to allow the user to interact and engage with the installation in unique and creative ways. These installations involve control, wonderment and illusion. 

The fist emotion I wanted to take was wonderment and futurism. Through the use of lines and grid pattern would throw the user into a room that alters as one walks through a digital world. This direction was then change to my final theme through the use of Cymatics and focused on creating a show for the user; bringing an upbeat approach to the project through the use of pumping dance music. 

Some initial sketches exploring wierd and wacky ideas.

Chosen direction: Use of sound and lights to create a fun and interactive light show.

This is the summation of all that went into testing if my idea would work as well as available materials such as a sound system that I disassembled to use the speakers so that I could incorporate them into my design. 

This is the working prototype that was used for the registration day at the School of Tourism & Hospitality at the University of Johannesburg (STH).

This is the final outcome of the project. through the use of the working prototype which was used at STH, I had to re-engineer the design to make it more portable and adapted it to a small house hold speaker. The feet had to be made specifically to raise the housing of the speaker to allow for the Sub woofer to radiate sound though the bottom of the housing. Initially I made the main drivers face downwards, producing 360 degree sound through out the room but decided they could be used as an aesthetic feature, that is why it was later moved to the front panel so that the user could see the speakers move when in use. 

This is a demo of the speaker in use and proven concept.
