Light Instruments by Lincoln Davidson 

An instillation in The Cohen New Works Festival 

This instillation aims to redefine the way people experience everyday spaces through the manipulation of light. Light is a primary consideration throughout the arts, but is usually applied in different ways. In theatre, light is a tool used to augment a performance. In architecture light engages spaces, creating a place for living. In visual arts light is an instrument by which ideas are conveyed. Our project aims to create a medium between these approaches, creating a seamless union between the functionality and the emotive aspects of light. The project consists of two modular systems installed in everyday spaces, that create emotional experiences, while encouraging the spaces use by the public. One will be installed in the Payne Theatre Lobby and the other at the McCombs UTC Fly Over. The first system is composed of triangular light diffusion modules, that work together to create a continuous surface. Each element allows natural and artificial light to t ravel through it, creating a pattern of diffuse and colored light. The second system is a surfaces that is generated by the  tessellation of simple t riangular plains that create a continuously flowing cover.  The system is illuminated by capturing natural light, though the use of a translucent fabric.
