Speculation through Questioning

So what do I do with all the experiments and research I’ve done so far? What would be the purpose of these things and how might mini projects transform into something more substantial and meaningful?

Question Set I: 
Perhaps the idea is to create an organic shaped interface. We are so used to flat screen-based interfaces (i.e. televisions and computers), but how can information work on a different surface? How would the shape of that surface compliment the content on it? What if the information triggered a change in the shape of the interface, allowing one to better understand the meaning and mood of the content? What if the interface grew smaller or larger over the course of a day to reflect the amount of data being collected by it?

Question Set 2:
Perhaps it’s less about form, and more about light and movement. What if the light could sense your presence in the room and would react through biofeedback? – Would these lights react to sound levels? Body heat? Heartbeat?… .What if you came into a room and the lights were projecting a certain pattern? Would that indicate the type or number of people who were present before you that day? What if the colors of those lights represented a persons mood or an aura of a person who previously visited the space? 

Question Set 3: 
If this project is about lighting, then perhaps the light reacts to the natural environment around it. How would the light patterns and colors change? Would these lights move with the sun and moon as if they were dependent on these two things for its survival? Would pollution or noise data be interpreted through light patterns? How would this be meaningful? For example, if there was a high level of pollutants in the air, would the lights turn an alarming color? Would they move rapidly to heighten one’s sense of awareness? How would a person or group of people be able to change the mood of the lights?

Question Set 4:
Perhaps there are several scales to this project at a micro and macro level. What if there was an object that you could carry with you – i.e. a locket or some type of small token of attachment. Imagine being able to carry a firefly in that locket that was essentially your pet.  What if it was a magical firefly that could sense your mood or health and would change color or change light patterns to help you be more aware of your inner self? Could you take that locket somewhere and release that firefly? Where would that firefly go? – To a field of other fireflies? To a place to recharge? To a place to store the information it collected from you? What if the firefly could show you a space where it has collected your information in an accumulated way? Would this allow you to see yourself in a different way? Would it cause you to self reflect?
