Update!!!!! New Improvement on my Idea!!

So I was thinking about how the heck I was going to do my project, and got extremely overwhelmed with all of the technical difficulties that I would encounter on my way, and all of the technicalities that I would have to face. I am no good at that stuff, so I started to think of another way to achieve me goal. I started to think about what other source or presentations of light can I use that still has a linear quality? I thought of Fiber Optics!!!!
I want to construct lots of little mini cubes out of fiber optics, and make them so that they can float on the pond's surface. This would achieve both the linear and graphic presentation that I am looking for, and really EXPOSE THE NATURAL LIGHT OF THE PLACE that I have chosen. Also a sort of movement could come from this, which I am really excited to try out. I picture these tiny little lit cubes floating around and almost drawing disappearing lines all over the pond in the darkness of the night.

I have purchased these tiny powerful light to stick on one end of the fiber optics so that the light can travel through and with the devices I plan to make. Also, I plan to have these light cubes on top of some sort of device that floats and does not interfere with the pond's reflection (i.e. a mirror, clear acrylic, plastic, balloons at each corner..something) The device should be hard to see in the night's darkness from far away (my original vantage point for my viewers), so the little ugliness of the floatation contraptions shouldn't be seen to harshly.

I am extremely excited!!! Please let me know anything that you are thinking, and some possible feedback!!!
