Project Summary (from
IIDA Award Submission)
Northwest Passage
Entry
EMP exhibits are unique as their environment. Ceilings vary 12-80'. Light
sensitive artifacts are limited to 5fc. A very efficient 1.4w/sf was achieved
with 35w12vPAR36 fixtures.
Undulating displays terminate in bracket-mounted pipe with accentlights
to illuminate displays.
Northwest Passage/Grunge/Metal
Stage
Fiber-optic extrusions with focusable heads mount behind mullions of sealed
cases. Pipe and truss-mounted fixtures accent stage and wall-mounted artifacts.
Limiting light on delicate artifacts while maintaining them as main accents
creates a dramatic, Rock-n-Roll effect.
Rock Milestones/Mattox/Blues
Below a soaring ceiling, curved pipes with multi-circuit plugboxes, bracket-mounted
to free-standing display structures, hold accentlights and speakers, allowing
power distribution solely within a raised floor.
Rock Milestones/Blank
Generation
Display walls incorporate "see-through" cases with fiber-optic
downlighting. Artifacts vary by curatorial restrictions and importance.
Modulated light levels establish hierarchical artifact importance.
Rock Milestones/B-Boys
& Fly Girls
Stepped display holds multi-hued costumes. Adjustable uplights create
a "back alley" image with dramatic shadows. Fill-light above
enhances three-dimensional forms.

Stages
Programmed, pulsing, colored LEDs behind the perforated stage base, and
a "Joshua Light Show" video image enhance the stage-show feel
without affecting artifacts.
Hendrix Gallery/Lower
Stage
Sealed cases contain end-lit fiber-optic extrusions. Uplights with barndoors
prevent light spill on the video screen above.
Hendrix Gallery -
View from Corridor
Double-sided case has multi-head fiber-optic strips inside mullions. Heads
were tuned with diffusing and neutral-density gels for desired light levels
and distribution on artifacts 6" to 2' away.
Guitar Gallery/Center
MR16 ellipsoidals light displays without disturbing video image. Color-filtered
MR16s, below seats, streak floor.
Guitar Gallery/Perimeter
Cases
Fiber-optics inside cases illuminate artifacts according to a brightness
hierarchy. Highly polished guitars required special focusing care to eliminate
reflections. Exhibits, not lighting hardware, take center stage.
