At the point of arrival, these technological devices can not only record the path of the journey, but also define the position and direction of sunlight, this information is also collected. The project depends on this technology to analyze the trace of light during a particular period of time in Stone Circle. This work also helps reveal the movement of shadow in space. Here are the drawings that represent the movement about the track of sunlight and the trace of shadow.
This project also researches one of the works of Jochem Hendricks : “Eye-drawings”, which was made in 1992-93. Which also uses the device to record movement. The fascination of this work is the drawing of trace. It uses interactions from the human eye to trace the movement. The drawings are done directly by the eyes without using any hands.
The experiment of investigating the space exists after drawing and the research of Eye-drawing, the environment is tested out by the project. It takes the paper as the physical architecture which is used to observe how light projects objects and how shadow leaves trace on the papers. The work inspires the project to develop the sensor paper which has reaction with light. The sensor paper is folded and cut by the reaction with light, in other words, the paper exists in the shadow space. In the end, the fragments of papers are collected to represent the space where they have been surveyed and measured. It is the dynamic drawing; more specifically, it is the observing drawing of drawing.

The trace of a shadow’s outline truly reflects the reality in the environment.
The paper surveys and measures the space which has light and projecting shadow in the environment. The sensor paper is folded and cut by reaction with light.
This is the observing drawing of drawing.
One of the fascinating projects based on modern light art is “Light Space Modulator” which was designed by László Moholy-Nagy, 1928-30 (Popper, F., 2007). The power of this work depends more on the reflection than on the original material.
This experiment uses the reflection of light to capture the movement of shadow. The project develops one object that is operated by hand. The object can change the angle to measure the space of crevice where the light is hard to reach. It is interesting when taking the object into the experiment and surveying its environment. This work assists my project in experience the reflection of light. It investigates the shadow by observing the trace of light. The work records the movement of the object to trace the route of shadow dur
ing the environment. It is the experiment about light and shadow. The perspective of shadow can be drawn through the object. The drawing presents the trace of light as well as the movement of shadow in the environment through out the experiment.
The photos of the object show experiments and measurements upon the space of the crevice within an environment.
It records the movement of the shadow of object in time by observing reflection of light on the surface

These drawings are produced by observing the reflection of light and trace of shadow. It is a drawing of perspective of shadow in the environment.
