Deadline for Entries: 2010 NYC Student Lighting Competition
Construct a 3-dimensional study to show how light facilitates, defines, or bridges a point of transition.
Liminal (lim'i nel):
1. of or at the limen, or threshold
2. at a boundary or transitional point between two conditions
The challenge is to interpret and express the theme in the form of an abstract lighting composition, constructed of your choice of materials. Your exploration should consider spatial, psychological, physiological, and temporal realms. All projects must have a title, incorporate at least one electric light source, and be easily transportable in a NYC cab. Projects will be judged based upon their ability to expand the viewer's understanding of the explored condition(s), as well as the following criteria:
- a. Originality, thought process, and translation of student's concept/idea
- b. The selection, placement, and manipulation of the light source to achieve the desired effect.
