Light Meter is one of three smaller projects which make-up the |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
'Personal Flash in Real-Time' -- which is one artwork within the main |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
'Return to Ritherdon' project. You should view the three smaller |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
projects as one project. And, for the purpose of this documentation, I |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
will refer to 'Personal Flash in Real-Time' as a system instead of an |
|

|

artwork. |

## Light Meter: Project Overview |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Light Meter is one of three smaller projects which fall within the |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Return to Ritherdon project. You should view the three smaller |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
projects as one project but, at the time of writing, the project does |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
not have a name. So, for the time being, I will refer to it as |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
'Artwork 1'. |
|
|
|
|
|
|

### 'Artwork 1': Project Overview |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The overall project ("Artwork 1" not 'Return to Ritherdon' or 'Light |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Meter') consists of three separate/smaller projects. The names of the |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
smaller projects are a by-product of the software development |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
process. You should not view them as individual pieces within the |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
overall project. From an artwork point-of-view, "Artwork 1" is one |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
piece. The name of the software projects are 'Light Meter' (which is |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
this one), 'Midpoint' and 'Relay'. All three projects reside in their |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
own git repositories. You can find the other project's repositories at |
