TITLE: Fantasmic! Lighting Project

CATEGORY: Mind & Analysis

AUTHOR COMMENTARY:

Playing with the idea and perceptions of light, the viewer starts by seeing a single lightbulb, which then expands to include all aspects of light as both an object and a means of visualizing other objects. Just because a viewer may see a lightbulb, there are many aspects of the light that they may not immediately recognize. When we “see” something, we are not seeing that object, but rather the light bouncing off that object and into our eye. The spectrum of light and color is forever entropic, changing the way the world can be seen. But, despite the chaos of bouncing waves and absorbed colors, our mind organizes the world into a very beautiful image of life.
