THINGS TO CONSIDER

While an idea of motion triggered light installation has been with me for a long time while working on this project I could not narrow down the form or function for it. The proposal has to answer four key questions
Where?
Why?
What?
How?
and no specific idea/solution I came up with answered all of them together, there was always a detail that did not match, the ever present question without an answer before the glimpse of an idea even developed to a presentable form.

As a result of that I became more and more critical and started asking more detailed questions, trying to find what was the mistake in my thinking. I came back to my human traffic analysis I gathered through my animations and only then did I realize I had asked a wrong question altogether: there is no one form you can give to peoples' movement as it is random and temporal, in constant flux. Therefore, any arbitrary form placed on site would be out of context.
