Dear WNDR Team,
Since the buildability of the concept is very important:
I just finished to realize a similar (but twice as large - 10m by 5.5m) installation as one of the three nominee‘s for the International Light Art Award 2019 at Center for International Light Art (Germany).
The opening and price ceremony of the award is this friday, the 7th of june at 7pm (Berlin time), thats why i can‘t show the whole installation yet - but want to give you some insights into the installation process.
Kind Regards
Pease look at the following Links:

LIGHT HIGH
On the verge of acoustical and optical
perception.
The installation LIGHT HIGH aims to guide the perception through specific acoustic and visual phenomena into border areas in which ambivalent experiences set in and the habitual experience of space and time is abolished. The starting point was the idea of a space that creates a feeling of endless falling and infinity. [...]
A mirrored ceiling together with a thin reflecting surface of water on the ground and an arrangement of light tubes are creating the spatial illusion of an infinite vertical space of light and darkness. By traversing a small bridge, the visitor can cautiously discover the immersing endlessness beneath his/hers feats and above his/her head. The mirror at the ceiling is slowly but continuously changing his orientation so that the visitor can barely perceive it. This creates the disorienting effect of a „bending“ space.
The extent of the infinite vertical space changes through the individual viewpoint so it can be fathomed by the viewer’s movement in the freely accessible installation. To enhance the illusion of infinity, the visual flow of the installation is complemented by the acoustic dimension of the Shepard sound. [...]
