Sculpture Light in art Space (Architecture) Thesis (M.S.V.S.)--Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Dept. of Architecture, 1981. MICROFICHE COPY AVAILABLE IN ARCHIVES AND ROTCH. Includes bibliographical references (leaves 50-51). An environmental light sculpture with screen-like architectural units which interact with moving light and shadow to create a complex spatial environment. The environment involves movement and change and has many possibilities and configurations rather than one fixed view. It evolved from an installation to a performance in which the audience was invited to enter and move through the space. The written thesis has two sections: 1) An art historical section concerning spatial environments in painting, sculpture, and architecture, stressing those dealing with light and illusion. There is also a brief history of recent environmental uses of light. 2) A description and photographic documentation of the thesis project which records its evolution, installation, and performance, with conclusions regarding possible future directions. by Beth Galston.
