Light as a Medium of Art: Ways of Seeing Now [4 unit(s) – ]

This class presents the diverse trends of light art. This includes film and animation systems, light systems, and visual information systems; their context, meaning, and manipulation. We will look at the historical relationship of technological discoveries on artistic methodologies and ways communicating information and ideas. The core of this course lies in ways of seeing; breaking down the physics of light and human perception, to the cultural, conceptual, political, and art historical context of these visual systems. The production work will include light manipulating materials and systems, the technologies influencing how we see, and methods on how to control and manipulate these systems.
