Chameleon
Chameleon describes the transformation of an interior by manipulating and varying solid areas of colored light over time on a single plane or throughout the entire spatial envelope. The event emerges when multiple colors cycle at regular intervals on programmable control or by manual means.
similar but different
- color flood Chameleon has a relationship with the Intype Color Flood. Both use colored light to fill the interior space; however, Color Flood features only one hue to homogenize a space, and its effect does not change over time. In contrast, Chameleon employs multiple hues of non-static saturated light. Additionally, Color Flood encompasses the entire space, whereas Chameleon emerges on only one plane, several surfaces or envelop an entire room.
