Stonehouse - Projection Content

The final element that needs to be considered in terms of the finalisation of our project is the content which will be shown through the projection and its relevance to our project.  All the way through the project we have been looking at light and then developed this into the concept of communciation through light.  We therefore felt that this would be the correct route to follow.  There are a range of things that can be communicated, and also a range of ways in which this can be done.  The projection aspect of the project covers the concept of light as a means of communication but the content that the light shows can be in different forms such as text, image, shape, line, colour, number etc.  The data that this is then connected to can also be various such as facts, values, thoughts, opinions, words.  In particular we were interested in making a comment on the opinions of Stonehouse at the current time.  Most people seem to feel that Stonehouse is not a very nice location in that it is dark, dank and run down, as well as being an area for crime.  We therefore felt it would be a good idea to demonstrate the opposite of these opinions to try and brighten the opinions and feelings towards the Stonehouse area.  We decided the way to do this was to display words on our projection opposite to those that might be considered as an opinion of Stonehouse, which viewers would see and read, and so this may give them a more positive outlook to the environment. The number of these words shown will be based on the length of time between a press of the pedestrian button and when the pedestrian light was last lit.  The following list is the positive words that we will use for our project:

• STONEHOUSE
• HAPPY
• NICE
• BEAUTIFUL
• CREATIVE
• IMAGINATION
• INSPIRATION
• COLOURFUL
• BRIGHT
• LIGHT
• GREEN
• NEW
• CONFIDENT
• STRONG
• REGENERATION
• QUALITY
• CALM
• GREAT
• POWERFUL
• DESIRABLE
• LUXURY
• ATTRACTIVE
• LIFE

A random selection of these words will be chosen to be shown on the projection, the number of which will be defined based on the time since the last press of the pedestrian button.
