We are creating this art instillation for BurningMan 2005. It is essentially a 15 foot woven 3/8 dome shape. It will be constructed with woven willow and will be permaeble to light. (Imagine a loosely woven twig basket turned over!) I want to light the interior space and the exterior surface independently. I want to program through slow color transitions independently at the same rate; ie. the inside is red, the outside is blue...slowly changing through the spectrum.

My original idea was to find a CHEAP 3-4 channel programmer and cluster MR16 24-32 ( www.superbrightleds.com) LED lamps in threes( Red, Blue, Green) Total interior
RGB trios four on a channel, total exterior RGB trios eight on two channels. I am realizing that LEDS my be too expensive and unnecesary.

It is starting to look like I may be able to create the same effect with less cost using some kind of stage lighting. My budget is around $1000.00 and I have about 1500 watts of gennie power for the lighting. HELP!!!


By the way, my technical skills are shit and will be looking for ease in assembly and programming.

Thanks for your help!!
