The workshop encompasses
1. KNOWLEDGE about following topics
- Cultural Background of Light Choreographies
- Semantics of Dynamic Lighting Patterns
- Dynamic Visual Perception
- Dynamic Lighting Technologies
- Dimming Technologies
- Lighting Control Systems and respective Interfaces
to be conveyed to the participants with respective lectures.
2. EXPERIMENTATION TRAINING consisting in the fulfilment of following tasks
- Configuration and Masking of a 100 RGB-LED-Pixel to be arranged accordingly over a floor surface along a band of 4m length
- Lighting Control Exercises – Programming of Dimming Curves, Scenes and Cues
- Generation of a Light Event Timeline according to the respective evaluation of the timeline of auditory stimuli of a selected soundtrack
- Dynamic Lighting Programming and Specification of all intermediate scenes according to the generated timeline
- Implementation of the derived Light Choreography composition on the masked floor surface, backlit by a digital pixel-addressable colour tuneable configuration
- Discussion about possible Fields of Application of the finished design
Wismar University is supporting this workshop since 2014 among other European academic institutes. The headline is first and foremost a plea for a linguistic approach to lighting design, which is being introduced by the workshop to serve its participants as a precious resource of training in visual semantics of night and of developing literacy of night ambience simulations.
