- Abstract
- A research regarding coloured light sequences was conducted on the occasion of the author’s design of a pyramidal sculpture lit by RGB LED uplights inserted into the base. The goal of this inquiry was to develop design strategies and methodologies that meet the requirements and specificities of spatial-temporal sequences by means of coloured lights. In this way, four aspects such as light, colour, space and time were studied respectively in order to identify priorities for any further research. First, the RGB light source values were assessed in regard to their visual sensation. Second, the colour palette was observed, assessed and altered as a whole, in order to render this colour palette seemingly more continuous. Furthermore, previously determined relative luminance sensation values were used in order to redesign the RGB coding. On site experiments hinted towards the avoidance of the feeling of repetition and showed the importance of observer’s point of view in relation to the spatial organization and segmentation based on the visual scenes. In conclusion, both, empirical and theoretical research alluded to the importance of design methodologies of coloured light sequences based on the user’s visual perception in relation to the temporal and spatial context.
