Light artist James Turell once remarked, “Light is not so much something that reveals, as it is itself the revelation”.
This panel explores how light is manifested, transformed, and treated as medium, resource, and the product of art. How can light be a form of artistic visualisation in a world illuminated by projections, virtual realities, augmented realities, and the metaverse? How can we extend our capacity to harness light to “see” better? With the manipulation of light sources, can we always trust what we see in artworks? Traversing issues in art conservation to digital practices, the materiality of light vis-à-vis vision is interrogated to reveal both productivity and playfulness.
