Fyi, some interesting links of projects that seems relevant to our previous conversation.
1. Magic of Flying
- Bringing movements in the sky into the interior of the Brickyard
2. Inflating Trash Bags Rhythmically Mimic Ocean Waves
- Reminds me of Byron's fans

Much appreciated,

Hi allThere is some interesting work in sky lights in amplifying light amplitude. Can I suggest someone take a look at that area? Networked Prisms might be an interesting approach for instance. Perhaps they could be servo/stepper motor controller to redirect light streams into different parts of the space. Modeling this would be an interesting exercise. .
Cheers GarthSent on the MoveI love the idea. But we explored that in TML circa 2002-2004 in Atlanta, and circa 2005-2006 in Montreal.I’m happy to review the techniques that we investigated, all of which involved more labor than available without access to maquiladora hands.It’s worth Matt or Kevin posting the architectural techniques that are in actual use for light guides. Apparently the solutions cost nontrivial $ or labor. James Turrell has apparently made some study of this ...Xin Wei
