Updated plotting system for Flutter Tunnel 07/31/2009
Determining how best to plot Flutter Tunnel has led in some interesting directions. The latest idea is to plot the installation radially, instead of perpendicular to a base line. A radially arranged Flutter Tunnel will pinch off the ends of the tunnel, which should create some wacky overlapping hoops from a distance.  1 Comment The last stretch! 07/14/2009
Flutter Tunnel is on the last stretch of fundraising with $650 to go from our goal of $4000 to purchase 200 BoGo lights that will be used for 7 days on Flutter Tunnel, and thereafter donated to ensure young students have light at night to study, read and use for other tasks.  Flutter Tunnel will send 200 BoGo lights to people who will utilize them thoroughly. The 200 BoGo lights will create $466,666 in savings from not buying 199,800 C batteries ($2,331 x 200 and 999 C batteries x 200). $466,666/ $4000 (our fundraising goal to buy 200 BoGo Lights) = $116.66 $116 represents the savings created for every dollar contributed to Flutter Tunnel. 1/10 Flutter Tunnel Test 07/14/2009
Over the 4th of July weekend, Flutter Tunnel group members created a test installation measuring 100 feet long on the Center for the Arts lawn. The 10 arches were equipped with the first shippment of SunNight Solar flashlights to test height, intensity and duration of various lighting modes. The results were spectacular, and even drew in a fair crowd during the 4th of July fireworks.  We also tested a couple different methods of utilizing sequin scrap to further illuminate the installation. The glittery material is highly visible at night and during the day when light reflects off the facets.  |
