Description:
Light-emitting kinetic sculptures are seen in a museum setting. Other sculptural objects interact with the space in real and impossible situations. The function of the non-light-emitting objects is to define the space as a solid form. At the same time, these objects reveal (through use of intersecting surfaces) that the space is merely an illusion created in virtual space. All of these events occur during sunset. Both the sun and the light emitting objects define the space through light. Both keyframe and dynamics were used in the animation process.
