Signage and Contribution

Idea for Signage

The basic idea here is abstraction of our topic fork, plate, table through diagrammatic shapes that form the basis of time, each working together as a kit of parts.

My personal contribution to the group will be a study of 17th century Baroque and Rococo dinnerware. I am a member of the artifact group and therefore will respond by considering the spatial layout of the exhibit as well as the duties of curating and labeling the artifacts to the best of my knowledge.

Light Sketch Series 3

Examine the fabrics under the various light sources. For each of the settings,

1. record the type of light source by sketching and/ or taking photographs
2. paste the original fabric sample in your Sketchbook.
3. record the change in color of the fabric samples by taking photographs and your subjective reactions to the appearance of colors in the different settings. Don’t use flash!

In addition, for each installation of lamp in the space, respond to the items listed below:

1. identify the purpose of the space
2. identify the purpose of lighting, including an identification of ambient, task, accent, and sparkle lighting.
3. identify the lamp/s
4. describe the effect of each light source in each space.
5. do you notice any aspect of Flynn’s subjective impressions?
6. based upon your observations and reflections, provide recommendations for improving the lighting environment.

1. Incandescent Lamp, Studio Work Space, Task Lighting, Warm Tone. Incandescent lamps has a warm tone of light which suggests an impression of anxiety. The lighting effect is minimal and direct perfect for specific task at a studio space for undertakings such as building models. Surprisingly, while the incandescent lamp emits a warm glow the surface reflection was fairly white. The light source functions well.

2. MR-16 Lamp, Pin up Space, Spot Lighting, Warm Tone. The MR-16 is a purposeful lamp which provides direct spotlight and makes it difficult to work underneath. The MR-16 provides adequate task lighting for pin up space but lighting ends abruptly towards the edges, providing no soft ambient glow. This is problematic when hanging up boards because there is not enough span of light to bleed across the whole surface, creating uneven tones of light.

3. Fluorescent Tube Lamp, Hallway Circulation, Spot Lighting, Warm Tone. Fluorescent lighting provides more of ambient lighting, its warm glow provides a visual clarity. In this instance, I believe the fixture improves the light quality very well because the perforated metal creates gaps in light and therefore breaks up the amount of glare the lamp provides. On the same token, this can cause problems visually if the gaps become too prominent on the surrounding surfaces but which also may provide dynamic enhancement.

4. LED Lamp, Portable Battery Operated so multipurpose lamp, Sparkle Light, Ambient Glow, Cool Tone, The LED which is the cooler color tone shows lower luminance levels by itself, however if it was set up with more than just one of these LED’s it would create a sense of enchantment. The light is very minimal and only functional in the event of a blackout or extreme lack of other luminance sources. LED lamps are only bright when there are an abundance of bulbs. This lamp consists of only 3 bulbs and therefore would fall under sparkle lighting. The light is very soothing but it would require many repetitions of this source to provide any real visual enhancement; however, this could be part of the lamp’s charm.
