Praxinoscope
The praxinoscope was a device created for theatre and was invented by Emile Reynaud in 1879. This apparatus was very similar to the zoetrope and even used almost the same system and give animation to the images. The differences between zoetrope is these moving images reflected a latent still image
History:
During the 30’s of the 19th century different types of optical toys were developed whose function was to offer movement illusion through different images sequences that passed by different types of shutters.
1878- This device were used in Europe and US in early ages. The invention received an honorable mention at the Universial Exhibition.
1888 - Years after having invented the praxinoscope, by then Charles-Émile Reynaud made several improvements to his invention, and in he baptized it with the name of Optical Theatre.

Thaumatrope
It formed a simple disk or card featuring and flipping both two different pictures a piece of silk or string attached to opposite points near the edge. In 1825, David Brewster who invented kaleidoscope,including John Ayrton Paris (1785-1856), an English physician, mathematician Charles Babbage (1791-1871) geologist William Henry Fitton (1780-1861). It was involves many prominent names from the 1820s world of science.
Also, by 1864 Dr Fitton was dead, so would not have been able to comment on the story. There's reasonable that Babbage's account of Dr. Fitton making the first one-off thaumatrope is likely to be true.
Fitton's hand-made toy and decided to produce a commercial printed version, without considering its origin; so we could consider Fitton its inventor, and Paris its developer and commercial exploiter.

Phenakistoscope
in 1832 by Joseph Plateau in Brussels, the phenakistoscope is actually one of the oldest motion picture devices. The device consists of a cardboard disc with evenly spaced slots cut along the outside edge. The face of the disc is divided into pie shaped sections containing a series of images. The center of the disc is attached to a stick or dowel so it may spin freely. By holding the image side up to a mirror, spinning the disc, and looking through the slots, the images create a motion picture.
1834 when British mathematician William George Horner invented what came to be known as the zoetrope. Horner named his device a "daedalum," but it was widely called "the wheel of the devil." Horner's invention made two significant improvements over the phenakistoscope. It became popular until 1860s an English and American makers to apply it devices.

t"he search of the glow"
‘sprinkling the mist while attaching the tree trunk,’comments the artist on her webpage.‘interweaving a scenery with the forest which is inside the deep mountain. sight with clarity or blur. light stream lead the mysterious mist to venture the forest. found a light object under the crowd of trees which is constructed by blend woods. wood sticks are overlapping and winding as a hollow pinecone. its construction and pattern go well with the line of the treetop. it’s a whispering between human and the nature. this glow transforms into a mist that guides visitors into the temporary light pavilion

These of luminous elements that communicate with each other and devise a generative choreography based on principles found in cellular automaton and swarm intelligence.
It connected in a network and exchanging information through electric signals. The collective behavior of the actuators and sensors create unpredictable patterns, a system of living organisms with their own variable program. A moving scene , where the borders between a ‘natural’ order of things and the mechanical constructions of humans.

"“Arc Zero”
plays a mediating role to express the relationship between elements of the artificial and the natural as a metaphor for human control over the nature or the course of nature. Round shape of the arc and water fog disseminated into the air the same as circulation of water it pass through the earth and sea then finally to evaporate into the air. It suggests us to think of nature’s influence on us. In this way, the audience may experience balance between the surrounding nature and themselves.

i have inspired by Thaumatrope ideas documentations with motion captures, i was thinking a similar idea of capturing idea of lights. How the suns moving directions change in the space and how these lights at night replacing sunlights and a hidden human movements directions of space in a darker space.
CINEMATIC DEVICE use in public space:
Using with cellophane surfaces (capturing the water reflections movements looking at the bouncing reflections )
Red represents power and courage.with emotion ranging from passionate, intense love to anger and violence. Hot and strong represents excitement and energy. It could be anger but it also could increased confidence. Red could be represents different meanings in different cultures, for example in Chinese red represents luck, in South Africa, red is the color of mourning.

Yellow
yellow helps activate the memory, encourage communication, enhance vision, build confidence, and stimulate the nervous system. Highly used in children’s products and marketing advertisements aimed at children. Yellow also represents sunshine, hope, and happiness, freshness, happiness, positivity, clarity and energy.
Orange
strongly negative or strongly positive but is considered to be a "happy color" in many cultures, representing the aspect of joy sunshine, and the tropics, and represents enthusiasm, fascination, happiness and creativity. Physical effects such as increased hunger.

Blue
represents both the sky and the sea, and is associated with open spaces, freedom, intuition, imagination, expansiveness, inspiration, and sensitivity. Positive affects on the mind and the body.

Ideas reflections (brainstorm)
I was playing around with lighting space, i have found out that at night time the lights are very eye catching and it performs in a relaxing spaces. But what is the most hidden are these lights got reflections in the cinematic devices between the sky and the hidden the back of buildings lights and human reflections and circulation floating in the space. And i was also thinking to capture lights movements bring memories what it exists in this place. So i have specifically use different color changing elements.
Overall, what it makes me difficult to make these photographs its it is a bit hard to flip them when it comes to flipping them like Thaumatrope with a 3D models and sometimes when i take photographs at night it is windy more difficult to photographs a nice images. But the outcomes stands out well to capture these bouncing lights framing with colors effects.
