The project began as a personal experiment in which I committed to using only a portable light source in my apartment daily. By capturing my movement with a camera, I observed how light shaped my spatial perception and daily activities, revealing its fundamental role in human interaction with space.
Building on this concept, I developed an interactive method where users hold a light to reveal images or maps projected by a projector. Inspired by ancient practices, such as using oil lamps to illuminate cave paintings, this project translates the tactile experience of discovery into a digital context.
To achieve this, I employed Procession by spatial pixel, integrating AI coding, a camera, and a projector to seamlessly connect the digital and physical worlds. Through this approach, Draw with Lights creates an immersive experience that reintroduces the physicality of light manipulation into digital interactions.
