http://dornob.com/on-and-off-light-up-wallpaper-illuminates-interior-spaces/ features wallpaper that also doubles up as a light fitting. At the slightest touch the lighting scheme is ignited and the chosen design appears on what appears to be a blank wall. I chose this product because of its possibilities, especially as the light display be ignited through a variety of means. Within my visual statement, I created a visual road that separated the two arguments about the car, I may use the wallpaper to create that road within the installation piece; the road slowly appears as people enter the installation space.
The choice of materials within my design project will need be carefully thought out as I identified in my working brief that the construction will have minimal impact on the environment by providing its own energy requirements, being made of recyclable material and being able to be recycled once the exhibition programme is over.
Following this I have been looking at the use of cardboard within my installation piece; http://emma-thoughtsoncreativity.blogspot.com/2009/04/cardboard-creations.html. I would look to use the cardboard for the internal skin of the space as I identified in my working brief that it would need to be recycled once the exhibition programme is over and if cardboard was used for the exterior skin, it would need to be treated which would perhaps affect its ability to be recycled.
I will continue to look into the use of cardboard for interior spaces and evaluate its strengths and weaknesses when used for construction projects. I am also aiming to research into other recyclable product and products created from recycled materials...
