Figure 01. One edge of the fiberoptics is collecting light from Photodotes I. In a way the origmai structure becomes the in-between station where light arrives from the big fiberoptics and departs from the small towards the bowl. The light "sparkle" is natural light arriving in the gallery at approximately 1:30pm.
Figure 02. Natural light is being transmitted via the fiberoptics into the MassArt "Eye-bowl" filled with water. This experiment, along with other similar ones, hypothesizes that the scallions' rhizhoma will collect the light for its growth.
Experiment_101:
For this experiment we wanted to test whether we can collect light indirectly from the area where light is being diffused. This experiment is part of a series of experiments, where the big fiberoptic to transmit light from the roof to the gallery, can be subdivided to smaller fiberoptics to be used for smaller activities. In this case the light arriving at the Origami structure is not sub-divided:part of it is "lost in space" and part is being transmitted to the bowl. SImilarly to experiment_100, we worked with scallions' rhizhoma that can grow with the method of hydroponics.
Items used in this experiment: fiberoptics, multi-color grow light, rhizhoma, water, MassArt "eye-bowl" container.
