the language of light
Miya and I were chatting and started riffing on the idea of light being a language or a translation of various inputs - including emotions in a metaphorical way. Wondering if it's an idea we could take further into a narrative either for our process or for the actual identity of bLux. I edited the chat and pasted it below. Read and comment...

i like how that music project uses music without actually producing music...it's like translation
yes - translation... that is a great concept, for us too
using light as the new language for different inputs
exactly!
that way we aren't really building in simple bells and whistles
but really thinking about interactions and stuff
can that somehow go back to the new language for expressing emotions. funny how the term came up in two different contexts
you are RIGHT!
that's so great
maybe not literally, but it could be useful to think in those terms
yeah, ithink it might help us think through how to express interactions visually
hmmm... there is something that could be very cool, combining personality, ambience, and environmental interactions. wonder if the medium is the message... if we can make the blocks charged or soothing depending on the elements. hmmmm
that's really nice!
save that thought
yeah, for sure...qusai, linda and peter need to get wind of that
almost like the blocks are brains
emotional barometers
yea!
for both the weather and the boys
it even throws in some of the saber ideas i really liked the way the saber could measure an emotional threshold
yeah - that's right. and if the blocks are brains of a sort, there is a narrative element that at least could help us work through the project. and maybe be an element of the marketing
brain waves are electric
yeah, light illustrating the flow
i was thinking about how plants do this same process
of photosynthesis like solar panels
it's a nice metaphor too...like giving emotions to plants

good idea to do a refresher on the bLux presentation! maybe we could do a short recap on monday? perhaps a quick overview of how these bLux might work? we could add other new ideas we've been throwing around too...
