{Osmosis As Needed} constitutes a spatial fracture punctuated by two distinct and highly contrasted conditions of Glow. The extreme Glow contained within leaks through to the exterior, transmitted through the porosity of the containing wall. An initial dense condition of emitted Glow is continually altered, its contrast shifted, as directed by the user situated on the interior. The movements of the directing users are trans -mitted through the dividing wall, registering as moments of lack of Glow and creating a dynamic lighting condition on the exterior.

ENCOMPASS

{Osmosis as Needed} is the nal resulting product of a series of eorts aimed at the control of GLOW and Darkness. The manipulation of two extreme and contrasting light conditions side by side is a common task within architectural design. This particular project sought to add to the discussion surrounding the manipulation of Light and Dark in architec -ture by giving the user a signicant amount of agency in the control of contrasting light conditions. The interactive installation poses questions as to the role of transient active and passive users in the manipulation of GLOW and Darkness. The temporal aspect of the project raises further questions as to the relationship between Light and Time. In what ways can GLOW be utilized to communicate the passage of time or be used to manipulate Time to speed it up, or slow it down? Finally, the project is concerned with the idea of materializing GLOW, of making it more tangible. The simple plastic test tube allows for the ability to hold Light in ones hand and then to transmit that Light by literally piercing the physi -cal boundary between Light and Dark.
