Will Pappenheimer, Public Mood: Light System

Every 15 minutes Internet users will be able to change the overall light temperature of the large cafe space. The overall light temperature will be based on a computational distillation of information from a news stories described and imaged my Google News. This system will utilize a dimmer controlled combination of red-blue-green lights to achieve a variety of colors. Lights will be directed primarily at the ceiling. If possible a computer station in the room will display the source and results of the current entry. The concept is based on the tradition of the "mood ring" which is composed of a material which changes color chemically based on the body temperature of the ring bearer. In this case it is a public issue which must be chosen by the Internet participant and then translated into color temperature for the destination space. A simple computational model will be chosen for the source news text and imagery which will then be translated into a color temperature based upon varying models maintained by different cultures. This system represents an offering and participatory mood encapsulating current issues of public concern.
