Week 10: Work



So this is a picture of my workplace, Irvine Lanes. The lighting in this picture is not quite unique, but it is interesting. As you can see, the whole lanes are blasted with lights while the sitting place is less lighted. I understand that the lanes are needed to be lighted, but this choice makes the actual customers less important. I see this all the time at work but whenever it's closing time and the lights turn off, the whole bowling place totally completely changes. The bowling place becomes sort of a creepy dark place. The pins are still visible, but everything else is pitch black. Also, the reflection of the light off of the wax further lights up the ceiling. It seems to efficiently uses all the light as much as possible. The lights that light up the place where the pins are also important. Sometimes, the pin lights turn off and when they do, we call the mechanic to fix it. In the meantime, the pins seems so lonely without lights. It's little things like this that we don't really appreciate.

  1. Very nice connections between utilitarian light and its emotional impact on you :)
