Communicative Deviations

I never really went into the links posted on the side, so I'll give a few examples of what inspired me to visualize the installation of the fake rainbow. There are more links off to the side, but these one's I wanted to point out specifically, since they have the most relevance.

This artist does a bunch of fun stuff with neon lights, which I considered for a bit before deciding it was outside my budget

There is an installation in Japan called 'Puddle' using only rolls of cellophane - very inspirational

This 'color activity house' was a big inspiration for using cellophane

There is an entire blog with fake cloud installations that I found

A cellophane installation

bright, plastic colors

Silver cloud installation apparently by Andy Warhol

So after much lack of sleep, only eating twice today (both times it was instant soup), and extensive planning I have put up and taken down said fake rainbow in one day. It turned out pretty awesome with a slight variety in light sources, despite not being in a plain white room with multiple, bright light sources like I would have had if I lived in perfectville. HERE ARE THE PICTURES

The boxes were hung with fishing wire that was strung through the top then wrapped around a pop-sickle stick cross made by gluing two together with gorilla glue.

It was actually kind of hassle fussing with the arrangement of the cellophane as it hung.

There was a super photo light that I played around with. Would have used more than one but I only wanted to risk one of the expensive lights instead of two.

Turns out I didn't need the flashlights either.

Yes, those are showercaps. They were meant to be filled with cotton balls but I forgot both times. They are clouds. I'm thinking of re-using them for some sort of hanging jellyfish decoration.

The weather could either be good or bad for lighting in this project, since it's a RAINbow rain might be good but since it's supposed to be colorful perhaps the clouds are not what I need. Still battling myself over where to put it, but I have a plan (to the right you can see it roughly drawn out in Photoshop) for either the classroom or gallery three, whichever I can get to by Wednesday or Thursday. This is all based on time, supplies, and availability of space. We'll see how it turns out.
