Hi folks! This is my first post here but I have been using CB as a resource for my entire career. Thank you for all of the help in the past. But I have looked around and can’t seem to find much help on what I need today.
The problem is this:
A local sculpture artist wants me to help him light his most recent work. It’s a very large gazebo-esque structure that is entirely metal and entirely outside in the elements of Colorado. He wants a “light show” but doesn’t know anything after that. That’s where I’m supposed to come in. However, I don’t know much about this type of light show. Especially not permanently installed ones that run on their own.
Can anyone walk me through how we can accomplish something like this? What is the scope? The technology needed? I know I’ll need outdoor rated fixtures based on what we decide for design. I’ve been looking into pixel tape as a good option but what would I program and then have it run on? I know he will want to add music as an element as well.
I have been an electrician/programmer for a while now but I’ve never had to venture into this territory before so any advice and help would be appreciated!
