Exposure: 0.006 sec (1/160) - had some sync'ing problems at 1/200 for some reason.
Aperture: f/6.3
Focal Length: 31 mm
ISO Speed: 200
Exposure Bias: 0 EV
Strobist:
setup shots can be found via the guest pass to my strobist experiments set in the first comment below
Main - Viv 285HV Camera (fairly wide) right shot through umbrella 1/4 power (but from a distance, so more like 1/8)
Highlight/Fill - Viv 285HV Camera (fairly wide) left shot through inflatable diffuser 1/16 power
Background - Viv 285HV shot gelled triple blue and through wine glass as cookie onto seamless savage paper - super white, 1/2 power - had to crank it up pretty high to get decent light/color onto the background with triple blue, a few early test shots came out with a really dark background.
so process to get the shot I wanted was background, then fill, then main. fill and main were flagged as best as possible to avoid spill onto background with 1' x 7' foam sheeting.

The Energy Curtain is one of the prototypes from the Interactive Institute's research project "STATIC!". It's a window shade woven from a combination of textile, solar-collection and light-emitting materials. During the day, the shade can be drawn to the extent that people choose to collect sunlight and, during the evening, the collected energy is expressed as a glowing pattern on the inside of the shade. In this example, people make direct and tangible choices over how much energy to save and spend, and their choices are experienced as an aesthetic presence in their home that reflects the natural cycle of daily light.

Household lamps typically have very basic functionality with respect to energy - expressed in lit states of ‘on’ or ‘off’ or somewhere between. In the ‘Flower Lamp’ example, it is not just the light of the lamp but its very form that reflects energy used. The lamp ‘blooms’ – changing its shape and thus lit expression – when energy consumption in a household has been low for some time, thus reflecting the cycles of local energy use. In order to make the lamp more beautiful, a change in behaviour is needed. By the Interactive Institute and Front.
