So what's this?

If you would like to see what the project turned into as a final product, click here directly for what is called the Luminoceros project.

This page is a kind of scrap-book, a collection that I'm putting together for a new project. In a nutshell it hopes to be a miniature Opera House that is big enough for a couple of performers to play on. I have spent the last few weeks reading a lot, looking at real theatres and watching performances. Sometimes I have little realisations, other times they are curious parts of a puzzle that I haven't tried to connect yet.

Usually I do this in a big book, but I thought it might be interesting to put my research book into a 'public space' since the intention is to create something FOR a public space. What is a public space anyway? I read a magazine the other day with some nice quotes which I will add soon but it implied that the most public space right now is online. So this is a reaction to that provocation.

Feel free to browse, comment if you like, I'm interested in reactions and will be sending links to a few people to see if I can find the through line. I'll try to update this regularly. You may notice that it is all in reverse with most recent first so reading this may be like some kind of archeological dig.

This is some of the quick sketches in my book recently, mostly looking at the most obvious ways of creating visual illusion in a simple space. There are some notes at the end, mostly me trying to work out what I think the relationship between light and the physical world is. I know that's a little bit old fashioned of me to think in those terms, but I feel like i need to figure that out to proceed with this.
