Light reveals the visible world around us, but what is light itself and how does it shift the ways we interact and relate to the world?
Acting as an initiation into the phenomenology of light, and through the lens of viewing art, this panel puts into question how light intertwined with our emotional and social positions, can alter our perception and ways of thinking, and therefore, how objects and our experiences / relationships to them can evolve over time. Across the works of young children and their representations of objects, wave-light imaging in Van Gogh’s Starry Night, and the pure apotheosis of light in J. M. W. Turner’s works, the conversation offers an illuminated picture to understand how we see as who we are.
Speakers: Professor Rajeev S Patke and Joshua Yang
