Light Bright
What the Audience Brings:
Empty Poland Spring Bottles (with caps)
Project:
We plan to have one large, obalisque like structure made from Poland Spring Bottles filled with water and colored die. This structure will be completed by the time the audience arrives. It will serve as a beacon and example – it will be lit from the inside and people would be able to hang out inside it.
Around the central structure we will have smaller, pyramid frames made from wood and chicken wire where people can make their own colored bottles and insert them into the framework, like a light bright.
Audience involvement:
People will be invited to mix their own colors and create their own mosaic patterns in the structure we provide
Materials:
1. Tools
2. Poland Spring Bottles
3. Water
4. Food Coloring
5. Wood
5. Chicken Wire
6. Hardcore Staple or Nail Gun
* walls and walkways to be audience participatory

This one is cool, it has variation in height and size and color, internal lighting will be good. Structurally it will need more than just chicken wire at some point the weight of the water will over whelm it.
what a great idea!
russ got me thinking about the weight of the water bottles. i was wondering if there was a way to stain the bottles instead of filling them with colored water? empty plastic bottles are almost weightless and it would be so much easier to keep your structures from caving in, especially if they are large enough to stand under.
i can't wait to play in your pod. ;)
The only things I could think of to be used as a lens for the water bottles is: tissue paper stuffed inside each bottle, a balloon inflated inside, different colored paints (spray, brush or dip), and white paint and using highlighters to color the paint. I have not tested these. I think if the light source is far away they might not work.
