Light sources are set up within an to explore how our perceptions of everyday contexts can be reviewed as a similar experience, but within a remote field or dimension. Typically, when two people communicate from different locations, each has to imagine the contextual information to help secure their senses and feelings. These provide the visual boundaries for the communication – the conversation space. The Messenger lighting project is a system that communicates visual information between remote contexts to allow people to share the same feelings more directly. Even though this remote communication is abstract from the physical context in which it is created, with a technological system using ‘real time’ communication, the intelligent systems can reproduce the tangible lighting effects in another distant place, to evoke similar feelings of visual attraction.
