Lauren and I went to the materials library and discussed with Heather some really interesting light embedding ideas. She suggested using fiber optics, because it is really efficient in channeling light sources and together with LEDS, they would be even more so efficient.
Fiber optic bundles can be threaded into asphault emitting light from an LED source, emitting minimal heat and lasts for a really long time.
It is possible to come up with an interactive computer interface that responds to external stimulation that translates to lighting. I took a digital architecture course last semester that dealt with this kind of relationship so I know it can be done... although I don't know if I could come up with the code that would drive such a device.
Some questions we haven't answered are how are the lights sensored? It should be solar powered? How do we configure the graphics? What colors do we use?
