A Journey of Light

By Mitchell Fawcett

Painting & Graphic Design

The Journey of Light is an exploration of perception, impermanence, and emotional resonance. Through projection, reflection, and sound, the installation invites participants into a contemplative, immersive environment where light behaves as memory—fragmented, refracted, and deeply personal. Initially created with analog materials—suspended mirrors, projection-mapped visuals, and binaural sound—the work evokes abstract figures and landscapes that shift with the viewer’s presence.

This project now moves into a new phase: integrating AI and biometric feedback. I am developing a system where the installation can read physiological signals—such as breath rhythm, heart rate, or skin conductivity—and respond in real time with tailored light and sound compositions. AI becomes not a gimmick but a bridge—translating the body’s internal state into a living atmosphere. The goal is not just interaction, but resonance: a piece that listens and adapts, that mirrors the emotional terrain of those within it.

By merging immersive installation with intelligent systems, The Journey of Light becomes a prototype for the future of healing environments—where technology co-creates with us to reflect not only who we are, but how we feel.
