Light and Sound Test and Preview

Constructed the dome at uni and ran some light and sound testing.

Prototyping

With the newfound plywood bracing, we decided to put it to test along with our new steel centre brace.

Main central brace

Dome in the process. The Dome was very rigid with the bracing, but we found out through this process that we could not set the dome up with bracing already in - it was too hard.

Discontinuity also tested out the mini-domes on site. These mini-domes on the night will emit elements of weather in their sound, e.g. wind, rain and thunder. These sounds will all meet together when a person walks near the dome, imitating that of a mixing chamber.

Testing of Scanning Lights

In the original concept, we intended for scanning lights to be on the site. The lights mimic a foreign object which seems to be analyzing the site. Because of how strange it is for this type of movement of light on site, it would address the issue of the idea of technology vs nature and the weird blurring of the two in their relationship.
