Ideas for implementation:

If the incoming data is updated too rapidly (In excess of once every two seconds or so) the averaging technique in the flowgraph above could be used to provide a slower, smoother transition between lighting levels.

Brief:

My idea is to use the lighting data from the pachube feed, and represent it in a similar way as the student who created the feed, but on a grander scale. She used a series of blocks covering a window, I plan to use a series of blocks covering the entrance, or inner section, of a cave. Instead of having the blocks rotate to let more light in, my idea is to have the blocks literally explode out of their locations onto the ground, possibly accompanied by a sound effect, as the amount of light outside increases, as though the light itself was a force. As the light decreases, I'll attempt to make the blocks float back into place, but may end up just teleporting them back.

I'll also include a light meter inside the cave, behind the block-wall, to allow the viewer to see what's happening in a more quantitative fashion, which, when combined, should give an easily accessible interpretation of the data feed to the casual observer.
