Light Bulb: task 2

Figure 1

Task 2:
10 responses to based on research surrounding light bulbs using the program pages.

I've explored a range of aspects found within light bulbs and represented them visually whilst adapting to the constraints of the software I've used. This has resulted in some successful responses which are those that are more abstract than my initial experimentations which are more literal and focus of the fading of light ( see figure 1) making these experimentations very obvious and unoriginal.

Coil:
Focus on the coil in a light bulb (see figure 2) as the tighter its woven the more fragile it becomes however also creates a longer lifespan for the bulb as it slows down the evaporation processes within a bulb which eventually causes the coil to break as well as looking at how the coil deteriorates over time (see figure 3).

Filament:
Looking at the different patterns and shapes found (see figure 4) within different bulbs causing bright light to be produced. By repeating the pattern to create a more complex design I've been able to represent the coiled nature of the filament within bulbs (see figure 5-6).

Voltage:
Visually exploring how different voltages are required for different bulbs creating different sized electric currents which would pass through the bulb. Closer the lines together the higher the voltage (see figure 7), more pattern overlaps higher the voltage (see figure 8). I've also chosen to explore how currents that passes through an electrical system and how I would visual represent the crossing of wires and currents within the circuit (see figure 9).

Oil lamp:
Our one of the earliest source of light therefore by exploring the collection of wax which would form as the lamp is used I've been able to create an interesting pattern (see figure 10) however I feel my other experimentations are more successful as this image is fairly basic and obvious.

Overall these experimentations have been successful as they explore a range of different ideas focused on my initial research into the light bulb, the more abstract ideas being those which are more successful as they are backed by more in depth research such as the components within a bulb and what makes them work, rather than the basic research surrounding different levels of brightness and how the level of brightness fades within a bulb overtime.
