I'm sure that there are ways of realising most ideas, but it takes a deal or prior knowledge to understand how projects may come together.

Grayscale bulb
This, as far as my understanding allows, defies science and is therefore impossible.

A bulb that emits a grey/black light, in essence, a lack of colour - subsequently a lack of light, as colour is light.

I'd like to walk into a room and everything, even my own coloured clothes and skin to appear in grayscale.

Weather cubes
A series of large, water tight glass cubes on plinths containing the weather from different countries.

Cloud cover in one cube, simulated as water vapour.

Rainfall in another; a gradually rising or falling level relative to the volume of the cube and area of rainfall.

Sun strength displayed using a super bright light.

Temperature - warm or cold air being blown into the cavity of the cube, heating the glass to touch.

Each weather cube is from a different location on a different continent; data is streamed live and the viewers can pick and choose which area they would like to experience. The cubes then reset and react within minutes to simulate the weather patterns from the newly selected location.

Weather stations containing the sensory equipment could be located at landmark positions, or the data could be sourced from existing stations that publish feeds for public use.

Containing the weather in such small and controlled amounts provides a kind of 'snippet' of that weather system. This changes how we perceive the weather - it becomes a much more removed experience as opposed to the immersive and inescapable that we season each day.

What's this?
