When I get stuck thinking of which idea to start designing with I usually do what everyone does and look through books and on more than one occasion I have come across one Installation in particular. The White Noise/ White Light project was once one of nine temporary urban interactive installations at the Athens Summer 2004 Olympics. Part of “Catch the light” competition. It was created at the base of the Acropolis. By day it seemed to be a dull square wooden deck with long Fibre Optic Stalks placed within the deck. By night the whole installation transformed into a fascinating landscape full of light and sound. The way in which this Luminous Sound-Scapeis created is from the interaction with people. The images above showed a series of long Fibre Optic Stalks attached to a wooden deck. These fibre optic Stalks are semi flexible in order to create the affect of walking with little interruption. As the Fibre Optic Stalks move a light is emitted from a hidden light source, lighting the top tip of the Stalk. So as people interact with it less the lights don’t appear. Throughout all this White Noise is produced from a hidden source as a masking agent for sound.
