Chromatic Play\u00a0is a sculptural installation at Guildford\u00a0Castle\u00a0created by visual artist and researcher Tine Bech and the Surrey Light Project, an interdisciplinary research project at the\u00a0University\u00a0of\u00a0Surrey. The exhibition relates to research interests of the artist and project team, and it also represents an important collaboration between Guildford Borough Council and the\u00a0University\u00a0of\u00a0Surrey, through the medium of public art. \u00a0MILES<\/a><\/em><\/h4>\n<\/blockquote>\n

I was contacted by artist (and researcher) Tine Bech<\/a> about whether i’d be up for building and\u00a0programming\u00a0an interactive electronic lighting system for a lighting project in the\u00a0Guildford\u00a0Castle. We had worked on an light based project before where I built and programmed the electronics behind the Light Pot<\/a>. With this project being in a heritage space, we had some serious\u00a0constraints placed on us, the castle itself could not be touched, nothing could be fixed to the walls. The entire system was built from the ground up with the inclusion of wireless modules and a central point of control (PCB Design, production, right up to programming all custom)\u00a0to suite these needs. More information can be found on Tine’s site here: http:\/\/www.tinebech.com\/interactive\/chromaticplay.html<\/a><\/p>\n
