This application is a U.S. national phase application, pursuant to 35 U.S.C. § 371, of PCT/IB2017/052134, filed Apr. 13, 2017, designating the United States, which claims priority to Republic of India Application No. IN201611017153, filed May 18, 2016.
The present invention relates to a method for the creation of dynamic artworks from static artworks; comprising of designing, fabrication, painting, creating & printing of artworks of a specific and precise calibrated colour and shade arrangement in the forms, images, shapes and backgrounds or the artworks, followed by illuminating these static artworks of diverse sizes, using specific lighting sequences and transitions of specifically calibrated colour ranges and shades; that dynamically transform the colours, luminosities and perception of forms, images, shapes and backgrounds in the static artworks, making them into dynamic animated artworks.
All materials have pigments which absorb or reflect light, and determine the colour of the material when lit up. Materials with White pigments reflect back light of all colours. So, if the light is White, the material looks White. But if the light is red, the material looks Red, since there is no other colour in the light to reflect back, and so on.
Materials with Black pigments, absorb light of all colours, and reflect back none. So, when light of any colour is shone on materials with black pigments, the material absorbs all the light reflecting back none, and looks Black.
Similarly, materials with Red pigments, reflect back only Red light, and absorb light of all other colours. So, such Red materials look Red in White light; since White light contains Red light which is reflected back, and the Blue & Green light contained in White light is absorbed and not reflected. With the same logic, materials with Red pigments look Black when lit with any light that does not contain Red light, since the material has no Red light to reflect back, and absorbs the light of all other colours. This is the same with materials with Blue of Green pigments.
Based on this principle, materials with Yellow pigments, look yellow in the presence of White light, or Yellow light (a mix of Red and Green lights) since it reflects back all Red & Green light, but absorbs all Blue light. So, when Yellow material is lit with Red light it looks Red, since there is no Green light to reflect back. When lit with Green light it looks green, since there is no Red light to reflect back. When lit with Blue light, Yellow material looks black, since it absorbs all the Blue light and has no Red or Blue light to reflect back. When lit with Magenta light; a mix of Red & Blue light; Yellow material looks Red, since it absorbs the Blue light and reflects back the Red. So, on and so forth with different mixes of Red, Blue, Green, Magenta, Cyan and Yellow light. The problem is that most colours (about 90%+) contain all three primary colours—Red, Blue and Green) and never quite get dark enough to disappear. So, everything looks blue when lit with blue, everything looks yellow when lit with yellow. and so on . . . . Because of this, no effective industrial application has been devised, that can use this phenomenon effectively and usefully.
diliet has taken this scientific phenomenon and developed a technical process that can create specifically coloured static Artworks—Graphics, forms, shapes, texts, illustrations, objects, etc. that when lit up with a specifically choreographed RGB lighting transform their colours, and results in a spectacular synchronous animation of the different elements—artwork and lighting and the lighting inter-transformation(time taken by one coloured light to transform into to another—zero milliseconds onwards).
These diliet graphic elements appear (visible since coloured), disappear (not visible since they turn black or merge into the background colour) or change colour (as described above), depending on the colour(s) of the light that are shone on them, and the background they are against.
Current Practice of Dynamic Artworks:
Static Artworks are of diverse types, from Paintings and Calligraphy to Graphics, Photographs and Commercial billboards, of hugely diverse sizes, from Exhibition prints in Galleries with focused lighting, to huge billboards lit up with outdoor lighting and a diverse range of 3D objects from Buildings to Automobiles. Static Artworks are lit up in several ways. Dynamic Artworks are created using diverse technologies from Cinema and Video to 3D Animation. Dynamic Artworks are presented on Television, Video Projections, Flashing Neon Signs, or LCD Screens of different shapes and sizes, which also are their own light source, and do not need any extra Lighting. These too can be scaled up; at great expense; like we see in the image of Trafalgar Square, London, as depicted in
Drawbacks in Current Practice of Dynamic Artworks:
As mentioned earlier, Dynamic Artworks are presented on Television, Video Projections, Flashing Neon Signs, or LCD Screens of different shapes and sizes
The Big Disadvantage of this is that:
Currently there is no technique which facilitates the creation of Dynamic Artworks from specific Static Artworks simply using lighting sequences of coloured lighting. In
Prime object of the invention is to propose a novel technology or method which facilitates the creation of Dynamic Artworks (two dimensional or three dimensional) from specific Static Artworks by simply using lighting sequences of coloured lighting. The proposed method, due to application of specific and calibrated light on to a static artwork of specific colour arrangement therein modifies the said artwork in such a manner that it seems to be dynamic or extraordinarily improved in terms of final colour, pattern, look, luminosities and perception of forms, and visible impressions to human eyes.
Another object of the invention is to propose method of creating specifically coloured printed and/or fabricated and/or painted static Artworks—Graphics, forms, shapes, texts, illustrations, objects, etc.; wherein such static artworks are characterized in a spectacular synchronous animation or dynamic artwork(s) of the different elements—graphic and lighting, once the said Artworks are lit up with specifically choreographed RGB lighting that results in a specific transformation of their colours, luminosities and perception of forms.
Another object of the invention is to proposed diliet technique, comprising of mainly two stages, as under:
Stage (1)—designing and printing and/or fabricating and/or painting the static diliet Artwork (two dimensional or three dimensional)—depending on Artistic thoughts and ideas or catering to an Advertising or Manufacturing brief about a commercial product, the Artwork gets created and/or manufactured. The main uniqueness of the artwork is that it uses specifically calibrated colours and shades, in the shapes, forms, text, etc. used, that will predictably transform into certain colours, depending on the colours of the lighting and their inter-transformation (time taken by one coloured light to transform into to another—zero milliseconds onwards).
Stage 2—Lighting the Artworks—once the static Artworks have been created, specially calibrated coloured lights are programmed into a sequence. The specific Calibration of the lights depends on the specific calibrated colours used in the Artworks (two dimensional or three dimensional), as well as on the desired colour transformation effect. The diliet lighting sequence transforms the diliet static Artwork into a dynamic Artwork.
Another object of the invention is to propose a technique to bring out two colour phenomenon together by applying calibrated coloured lights or sequence of such calibrated coloured lights on to static Artwork (two dimensional or three dimensional), comprising of specifically calibrated colours used in the said Artwork, leading to transformation of said static artwork into a novel, specific and differently coloured artwork that demonstrate a unique dynamic transformation behaviour; wherein said dynamic transformation behaviour of the artwork is specific, predictable and programmable in the presence of specific lighting sequences; and wherein calibrated coloured light (or coloured light sequence) applied on said static artwork is so chosen that it is compatible to and depends on the calibrated colour(s) used in the said static Artwork.
Another object of the invention is to propose the primary use of specific calibrated colours and shades in artworks (two dimensional) & objects (three dimensional); which do not contain one or two Primary colours; juxtaposed in ways that lead to a specific and predictable behaviour of changing colour, luminosities and perception of forms, when lit by specific sequences of coloured light.
Another object of the invention is to propose diverse dynamic applications from artistic exhibitions & installations and dynamic billboards advertising, to signage, performance, theatre, cinema, events, interior decor, exterior decor, furnishings, clothes, cutlery, etc.
Another object of the invention is to propose the uniqueness with which static artworks and objects are physically transformed to dynamic artworks and objects just by simple lighting sequences, whereby the components change colours dramatically, and appear and disappear in simulated movement, earlier only seen on video or graphic animation.
digital light induced entrancement (diliet) is a unique invention that combines available Art practices and lighting technologies, to create specially designed Static Artworks that transform into Dynamic Artworks when light up in specific sequences of specially calibrated lighting. This is shown in
CS #1—White Light (R255 G255 B255)
CS #2—Lighting colour A
CS #3—Lighting colour B
CS #4—Lighting colour C
The proposed diliet technique is a technical process that can create specifically coloured printed and/or fabricated and/or painted static Artworks—Graphics, forms, shapes, texts, illustrations, objects, etc. that when lit up with a specifically choreographed RGB lighting transform their colours, and results in a spectacular synchronous animation of the different elements—graphic and lighting.
Present Diliet Technique has Mainly Two Stages:
Stage 1—designing and printing and/or fabricating and/or painting the static diliet Artwork—depending on Artistic thoughts and ideas or catering to an Advertising brief about a commercial product, the Artwork gets created. The main uniqueness of the artwork is that it uses specifically calibrated colours and shades, in the shapes, forms, text, etc. used, that will predictably turn into certain colours, depending on the colours and inter-transformations of the lighting.
Stage 2—Lighting the Artworks—once the static Artworks have been created, specially calibrated coloured lights are programmed into a sequence. The specific Calibration and inter-transformations of the lights depends on the specific calibrated colours used in the Artworks, as well as on the desired colour transformation effect. The diliet lighting sequence transforms the diliet static Artwork into a dynamic Artwork.
diliet artworks and objects are distinctive and unique, in that their elements; forms, shapes, text, backgrounds, etc.; are coloured with specific colour ranges and shades (Shade: a colour made darker by adding black), specifically juxtaposed to change colour and form when lit by a specific sequence of calibrated coloured lighting. 7 main colours and their shades; from full saturation (255) to zero saturation (black); are primarily used in diliet Artworks & Objects. White, Red, Green, Blue, Yellow, Magenta and Cyan (Black is any of these colours at zero saturation). Other than that, diverse combinations of any two Primary Colours (Red, Green & Blue) are also used. Colours which are formed with combinations of all three Primary colours (except the range of White to Black) are rarely featured. So, Colours and colour shades primarily used in diliet Artworks and objects, consist of colours which are formed by either only one Primary colour or a mix of two Primary Colours. The reason for this is what makes a diliet Artwork or object unique.
Similarly for lighting (in RGB 8 bit), 7 main colours and their shades; from full saturation (255) to zero saturation (black); are primarily used in diliet. White, Red, Green, Blue, Yellow, Magenta and Cyan (Black is any of these colours at zero saturation). Other than that, diverse combinations of any two Primary colours (Red, Green & Blue) are also used. As the saturation of these coloured lights are reduced, their colour effect is also reduced.
Say a diliet Artwork contains components in 6 primary diliet colours; Red, Green, Blue, Yellow, Magenta & Cyan; on a black background. Since the components of the diliet artwork or object is coloured with colours that do not contain one or two primary colours, when the diliet object is lit by that missing colour; say Red (at 255), the components coloured with colours that do not contain Red; Cyan, Blue, Green and their shades; will dramatically turn dark; completely or partially disappearing into the black background, while the components coloured with colours that have Red; Red, Yellow, Magenta, and their shades; will turn shine out in Red (and will be dark or bright red depending on the shade of red in the component).
If the Object is now lit with Green (at 255) light, then the components coloured with colours that do not contain Green; Red, Blue, Magenta and their shades; will dramatically turn dark, completely or partially disappearing into the black background, while the components coloured with colours that have Green; Green, Yellow, Cyan, and their shades; will turn shine out in Green (and will be dark or bright Green depending on the shade of green in the component).
If the Object is now lit with Yellow light (combination of Red 255 and Green 255 light), then the components coloured with colours that do not contain Red or Green; Blue and its shades; will dramatically turn dark, completely or partially disappearing into the black background. The components coloured with colours that contain Green but no Red; Green and Cyan and their shades; will dramatically turn green. The components coloured with colours that have Red but no Green; Red and Magenta and their shades; will dramatically turn Red. While the components coloured Yellow will turn shine out in Yellow (and will be dark or bright yellow depending on the shade of yellow in the component).
Now imagine this diliet Artwork lit by a sequence of 1 second each of Red, Green and Yellow light, cutting to each other on a loop. The 3 dramatic phenomena described above; colours, components and perception transforming and appearing and disappearing; will now repeat in a sequence of 1 second, each phenomena cutting to the next, in a continuous loop. This is the dynamic essence of diliet.
If the lighting sequence introduces simple dissolve transitions between the lights; so, the jerk of the light cutting to each other is smoothened; the above three phenomena take on a further magic, as the inter-transition time (zero milliseconds onwards) of the light and frequency changes plays further with the perception of our sight, and components transform dramatically. And because components appear and disappear as the light colour change, the dynamic behaviour induced by diliet also demonstrates a unique simulation of movement and animation.
So if the said diliet Artwork is lit by a sequence of 1 second each of Red, Green and Yellow light, transforming to each other in a time of 2 seconds, on a loop, the 3 dramatic phenomena, namely colours, components and perception changing, appearing and disappearing, will get repeated in a sequence of 3 seconds, each phenomena static for 1 second then smoothly transforming to the next, in a continuous loop and thus realizing a different and customizable dynamic colour transformation effect in a unique simulation of movement and animation.
Additionally, using the diliet technique of specifically calibrating colours and printing/fabricating artworks and objects, the Primary and Secondary colours represented in maximum saturation, glow with a unique luminous glow when lit by that colour, seen before only with fluorescent materials and paints exposed to Ultraviolet light, and never seen before otherwise. The phenomena simulates Wave theory, when similar/same wavelengths get strengthened (increased amplitude) when they meet.
The diliet phenomena works best in darkened spaces, where the ambient light is quite low.
To understand the diliet technique, it is important to understand Additive Colours for precise diliet Artwork creation as well as for diliet Lighting. In Lighting, Red, Blue and Green are Primary Colours—RGB. Using computers and other digital equipment, Red, Blue and Green Light can be mixed with each other with values from 0 to 255, giving 256 shades of each colour, going from pure Black (0) to pure R, G or B (255) and the shades within. Red, Blue & Green lights with values of 255 are pure Primary colours, which when mixed together at that value, create White light. Red, Blue & Green lights with values of 0 when mixed together at that value, create an absence of light, which results in experiencing Black. Red, Blue and Green Light mixed with each other with values of 255; but two at a time; create Secondary colours—Magenta, Cyan and Yellow.
In the descriptions below, all references to Red, Blue, Green, Magenta, Cyan and Yellow refer to their pure light forms as mentioned above.
Technical Features of Diliet:
(a) Creating and Printing the Static diliet Artwork
(b) Lighting the Static diliet Artwork
The Static diliet Artwork thus has to have a specific synchronicity of colour calibration and use, with the calibrated diliet Lighting sequence.
(c) Advantages of diliet—digital light induced entrancement:
Since such precise combinations and sequences of precisely coloured lights do not occur naturally, all specific diliet coloured Lighting sequence have to be created digitally; either using computers, or special Mixers that record and playback lighting sequences, typically using a DMX protocol, by which lights can be sequenced and played back on loops, in accurate colours, timing and transitions.
There are many colour mixing software; both for creating & designing Artworks & objects, and for mixing and creating specific lighting sequences. For the first time, diliet brings the two colour phenomenon together, to create specific artworks that demonstrate a unique dynamic transformation behaviour; specific, predictable and programmable; in the presence of specific lighting sequences. It's like there are millions of kinds of human movements, and millions of kinds of sounds. But a specific proprietary “musical dance-form” is invented only when the following happens. From the millions of possible sounds, specific sounds, rhythms, frequencies, timbres, volumes, etc. are choreographed, juxtaposed and composed into a specific collection of sounds, which can perhaps now be called music, but can certainly be called unique. Simultaneously; from the millions of human movements, specific unique movements at specific times by specific dancers (components) are choreographed, juxtaposed and composed into a specific unique collection of movements, that when synched to the specific unique music created, can now be called a unique “musical dance form”.
Diliet precisely juxtaposes specific static components in specific calibrations of colours and their shades, in a way that will predictably result in a specific unique and dynamic behaviour, when lit up by specific sequences of coloured lighting.

Some embodiments of the present invention are herein described, by way of example only, with reference to the accompanying drawings. With specific reference to the drawings in detail, it is stressed that the particulars shown are by way of example and for purposes of illustrative discussion of embodiments of the invention. In this regard, the description taken with the drawings makes apparent to those skilled in the art how embodiments of the invention may be practiced.
Attention is now directed to the drawings, where like reference numerals or characters indicate corresponding or like components. In the drawings:
The present disclosure is about a precise technical process of designing, creating and fabricating/printing Static Artworks of diverse sizes, using specifically calibrated colour ranges and shades, luminosities and perception of forms, images shapes and backgrounds in the Artwork. The Static Artworks need to be designed in a precision environment; say on a computer; where the colours and shades to be used in the Artwork can be set precisely. Based on the choice of specifically calibrated colours in the Artwork, precise lighting can be designed, with specifically calibrated and choreographed coloured lighting, which will affect and change the colours in the Artwork in spectacular ways, and transform the Static Artwork into a Dynamic Artwork.
For example in a diliet Artwork, a specifically coloured Green Text, on a specifically coloured blue background, can be designed to transform into darkness from green, when lit with a specifically coloured light, while the blue background remains blue. When the diliet technique is implemented in artistic and creative ways, incorporating different shapes, luminosities and perception of forms, colours and backgrounds into static artworks, specifically designed to interact with choreographed lighting design using sequences of specifically coloured diliet lighting, the static diliet Artworks transforms into a dynamic Artwork, and looks like it is performing to the lighting, as shapes and forms change colour, or disappear when they turn black or merge with the colour of the background, in a spectacular dynamic animation. diliet is designed to work in dark or light tight spaces, where the light falling on the diliet Artwork can be precisely controlled.
Light is easily and commonly calibrated using available technologies. There are three primary light colours, Red, Green and Blue. 8 bit colour (still the most common) divides each colour into 256 shades from full saturation—255, to zero saturation (black). When all three—RGB, are combined at full saturation (255) it results in White colour or light. When all three are at zero saturation, there is no colour or light. i.e. Darkness or Black. All other colours and coloured lights are formed by different combinations(255-0) of R, G & B. (2563=˜16 million colours) Using the commonly available Digital Multiplexing protocols and codes(DMX), and controllers, LED RGB lights can be controlled precisely, and commands regarding the colour of the light(RGB values 255-0), the duration of the light(in multiples of fractions of seconds) and the kind of transition between light changes(cut or dissolve for a specific duration). Precise Lighting sequences are thus written in coded instructions that control the lights through DMX, and can looped or repeated endlessly.
diliet artworks or objects can be specifically created to respond to a specific lighting sequence towards a specific effect, and vice-versa. Certain indicative illustrations to depict and explain the creation of diliet effect on specific diliet artwork are demonstrated hereinbelow with the help of different kind of embodiments of diliet artworks. Applications of such illustrations will definitely be the subject of commercial/industrial applications and therefore such commercial/industrial applications derived from such illustrations hereinbelow are within the scope of instant invention and are duly covered under the instant description.

The diliet dynamism, as per Example 4 herein and the corresponding
ALL diliet artworks can be made into back-lit translides (translucent artworks that glow when back-lit), with the same dramatic diliet dynamism.
Example #5: this diliet design proposed for a bridge, referring the
Say we take a normal white bridge, represented in the schematic presentation of
Then paint it with colours using specific calibrated diliet colours, which now looks, presented schematically in
The entire bridge will be lit by diliet lighting. At night, lit with White light it will look like as presented schematically in
The dramatic Colour State of the bridge will indicate the following information about traffic, and will smoothly transform from one CS to the another, depending on the Traffic density.
Traffic Crawling on both sides—Red & both Arrows Red, as schematically represented in
Traffic Slow on both sides—Orange & both Arrows Orange, as schematically represented in
Traffic Medium on both sides—Yellow & both Arrows Yellow, as schematically represented in
Traffic Free on both sides—Green & both Arrows Green, as schematically represented in
Now because the Arrows are lit separately (and masked, so that the light does not spill onto other spaces) we can also use the bridge to indicate travel information like the following. Traffic Crawling on this side, but Medium on the other side, as schematically represented in
Traffic Free on this side, but Crawling on the other side, as schematically represented in
The diliet lighting sequence controller will be configured; with the appropriate technology to receive traffic update data (say through Google Maps) or use direct data extractable from cameras on the Bridge; to change colours depending upon the information received, thus changing the Colour State of the Bridge etc.
Example #6: As shown in
CS #1—White light—shows three Red and Yellow shaded Dumpster Trucks at the bottom, rows of Magenta and Cyan plastic bottle outlines in alternating rows, and an outline of India reflected in the background. Please note that the Trucks have been crafted in a certain way with their Dump containers in several specific colours and shades, both pushed up and flat.
CS #2—Blue Light—Everything turns blue or black and the whole image darkens, and objects and text disappear or merge into the background.
CS #3—Green Light—The background glows Black and Dark Green with the outline barely visible, and objects and text appear in Green, three rows of Green bottles, and three Dumpster Trucks in Green with their Dump Container clearly pushed up, with their stripes visible in shades of Green.
CS #4—Red Light—Everything turns Red or Black and the background remains dark, and objects and text appear in Red, three rows of Red bottles at heights higher than the Green bottles(simulating movement) and three Dumpster Trucks now in Red with their Dump Container now flat (simulating movement) with their stripes visible in shades of Red.
In an enclosed light controlled environment, the viewer will never see CS #1. Instead CS #3 and 4 will be in an ongoing loop; say every 2 seconds the CS dissolves from one to the other over one second, and after every 30 seconds dissolves to CS #2 to rest, before starting again in 4 seconds. Thus the artwork will make it seem that the bottles are moving up by layers, as the dumpster Trucks push their dump container up and down, and then rest in CS #2.
diliet thus can be applied in many diverse dramatic ways to transform Colour States, perception of forms and enable animation, in specially designed/coloured 2-D and 3-D objects, ranging from Artworks & Billboards to Sculptures, Buildings, Bridges, Vehicles, Room Interiors, Subways and Costumes/Sets in the Performance Arts.
Example #7: Referring to
For example, in
The Brightness (of reflected light) of the coloured strips was measured in relation to the Brightness of the Charcoal Black colour background the strips were kept against; to simulate a runway; using a Canon 60D TTL light meter. The Fluorescent Yellow strip in just Blue light was relatively much brighter than any of the strips in full white light. The following table compares the brightness and luminosity of White, Yellow and Fluorescent Yellow in different diliet light colours in comparison to the brightness of the background. Luminosity=Brightness of Strip−Brightness of Background
The Luminosity (Difference between Background and strip) of the Yellow Fluorescent strip was 21.43% more luminous in full white light, than the White strip in full white light((Y−X)/X). The Yellow Fluorescent strip was 38.46% more luminous just blue light, than in full white light ((Z−Y)/Y). The Yellow Fluorescent strip in just Blue Light was 68.13% more luminous than the White strip in full white light, thus using ⅓rd the light consumption for 68.13% more luminosity. ((Z−X)/X).
This diliet insight has diverse dynamic applications in creating futuristic & aesthetic dynamic runway/signage/numbering/identification or communication markings (alongside runway & signage markings on aircraft carriers; Vehicle, ship & aircraft markings; diverse Signage; Buildings; etc), that have much higher visibility than the standard white or coloured markings, and can change colour from Yellow, to Red, to Green(and several other diliet shades in-between), depending on the communication required from the colour state. Alongside, depending on the visibility required, the brightness of the lighting can be increased or decreased automatically, using visibility sensors connected to the DMX controllers of the LED lights. The brightness can be further enhanced at very low cost by using additional dmx controlled blue LED diodes, and special proprietary reflectors, that further enhance the brightness of its light, and thus present a further bright Fluorescent Yellow in a brighter and fully controllable manner.
For example,
Example #8: By using the diliet technique namely, diliet Colour Randomiser of colour and coloured lighting, numbers (and indeed letters of all languages, diverse symbols, etc.) can be made to appear and disappear when lit with specific coloured light. This opens up many creative applications in games of chance and funding, of making options appear and disappear in calculatable probabilities, using a random selection of coloured lighting.
For example, using 99 numbers—1 to 99, a board is created.
Numbers Coloured Red, Green and Blue—17 each,
Numbers coloured Yellow, Cyan and Magenta—16 each,
On a Black background, with the numbers separated by a white Grid as depicted in
Said diliet Colour Randomiser has many applications, using Numbers and Alphabets of all languages as well as diverse symbols and shapes (together call “Shapes”) in different diliet calibrated colours, which appear and disappear when lit by specific coloured lights. The probability of the valid appearance of these shapes can be further influenced and complexified by different coloured outlines on each shape and different colour backgrounds for the shapes. In exemplary case, in
For Example, #9: Referring to
For example, with R&B light
Different combinations can be deemed special or not, thus complexifying the probabilities and the calculations. The diliet Ramdomising process can be combined with various prevalent processes of chance gaming, quizzing, casinos, etc.
The Randomising process can also be done by using specifically coloured diliet Cards, with single, dual or triple colours; say 10 each of 6 kinds; which are then distributed to players, who place them on Numbers on a board, or some such indication grid. A final colour can be chosen by a throw of dice. Then the coloured diliet lights light up in a random (or not) sequence. The light that it ends on, will determine which cards are glowing with the correct/decided colour. This application can be designed in circular or oval shapes, or indeed in a diverse number of forms and colours, divided up into regions, with different Shape.
For example, a Circular Board is mounted vertically on a system that will allow it to rotate, with Numbers/Symbols in different diliet colour zones. Several lights of different colours are focused on the diliet colour zones on the Circular Board. Users choose different numbers. A designated final colour is chosen. Now this board is rotated/spun, till it stops. The zones that light up in the designated colour is short-listed.
Diliet Desaturating Colour Combinations:
Colours with no common colour components. eg. R&G, R&B, B&G, Y&B, M&G, C&R
When Light & artwork colours combine in these combinations the colour of the artwork Desaturates (loses colour information and turns black or dark grey) since that particular artwork component colour does not have the colour information present in light in the colour, to reflect back. Thus, that colour turns dark dramatically, and can merge into a suitable background colour around it.
diliet transforming colours combinations—colours with common colour components. eg. R&Y, R&M, B&M, B&C, G&Y, G&C, W&R, G or B
When Light & artwork colours combine in these combinations the colour of the artwork transforms (changes colour information and turns into the colour of the light) the colour transforms dramatically, and can merge into a suitable background colour around it.
diliet non-transforming colours combinations—same colours. eg. R&R, G&G, B&B, M&M, C&C, Y&Y, W&W, or W light on any diliet colour.
diliet artworks and objects use less than 0.8% of RGB colours as the main colours, shades and tones to be used in combinations, shapes and forms(components) to achieve the diliet dynamic effect, when lit by a specific sequence of coloured RGB light. Hardly any non-diliet colours are used, and if so at all in only a secondary or incidental way. Besides, the colours and content of the components are especially created to respond predictably to specific coloured lights and transitions between light colours. This prescription of the diliet technique, principle and process, makes it unique and inventive. Most visual artworks, photographs or objects contain colours that have tones and shades with all three Primary colours (˜90% of all RBG colours). And where the rest of the 1% colours may be present, they have not been used an intentional presence, meant to respond to and transform in the presence of specific coloured lighting sequences. So, artworks not created using the diliet technique will typically turn shades of the light colour used to light it. And even if there is a presence of some diliet colours and shades, the main colours and forms of the components, are not especially & intentionally crafted, coloured, combined and juxtaposed, to respond dramatically, dynamically and predictably to specific coloured lighting and transitions between coloured lights.
In diliet Artworks & objects the main colours are diliet colours, and the components are especially & intentionally crafted, coloured combined and juxtaposed, to respond dramatically, dynamically and predictably to specific coloured lighting and transitions between coloured lights. The diliet Artwork is imbued; and indeed, this is the test of a unique diliet Artwork; with such specific components that have embedded in them specific calibrated colours and shades (diliet colours). The Artworks are static, and look quite striking in the daylight, or lit up with White light. When in a dark space the static artwork is lit by a specific diliet lighting sequence, the components start transforming dramatically, since the diliet colour combinations in the Components appear, disappear or change colour helplessly; but predictably as crafted & intended; in response to the light colour, and are completely controlled, choreographed & enslaved by the diliet lighting sequence. We want to claim rights to this unique & specific combination of different media, which results in a dilietfull performance collaboration of the Artwork and Lighting. As if the diliet Artwork is an Orchestra with a specific instruments and a specific music score, which responds and performs dramatically & predictably to the influence, signals and commands as conducted by the Lighting. So, the Light fully controls the dynamic perceptual state of the static artwork, as its light colour changes in different sequences and transitions, and transforms the perceptual state of the artwork.
Although the invention has been described with reference to specific embodiments, this description is not meant to be construed in a limiting sense. Various modifications of the disclosed embodiments, as well as alternate embodiments of the invention, will become apparent to persons skilled in the art upon reference to the description of the invention.
