And there was light!

I wanted to look into some lighting research to see what other people used in exhibitions and in architecture to create an effect to make the audiences get a real sense of atmosphere. Can the lighting create its own effect?



i was looking into exhibition examples and came across this from the frame website that I love so much. this is a clothes exhibition with the theme of a dark forest in Finland, with the dark backgrounds and only the clothes being lit up makes you focus completely on the exhibition and nothing else making the fashion the main attraction. it leads you straight where you need to be. Can i do that with my designs?



This i also found on the Frame Website (i really do swear by it). this exhibition i chose because the lighting has been put into the structure itself which relates to my first idea of putting lighting into the glass platforms themselves. the lights lead you straight to where the exhibitions are and light up the artwork inside. it shows how light can lead you in certain directions without you realising it.
I like the vibrant colours that are used in this exhibition as it goes with the artwork on display. Can i find colours that go with the cave and still light up the exhibition space?



there is different kind of lighting i could use in my cave design and so i looked around for lights that could be placed into a structure without any problems. Neon lights and LED strips seem to be the best at this job. These lights can also be used on the floor in bedded into the glass platforms. this would guide people along the floor to certain sculptures helping with the circulation of people and provide a great atmospheric look in the cave. Different colours could help with the atmosphere as well. Could this be too expensive though?
