One of her interactive projects had lights in her designs; of which are the ones that were inspired

by an essay called "Esthétique de la disparition" (The aesthetic of disappearance), by Paul Virilio (1979). "

It is made of photoluminescent thread and imbedded eye tracking technology, is activated by spectators' gaze. A photograph is said to be “spoiled” by blinking eyes – here however, the concept of presence and of disappearance are questioned, as the experience of chiaroscuro (clarity/obscurity) is achieved through an unfixed gaze.

DIGITAL LIGHT JEWELLERY 

I found this, the other day, and I thought how creative and amazing it is. In simple words Pangenerator is an app that creats Neclumi jewellery with a projected light; in fact I find it so intriguing on how technology is coming into the art world more than before. This app can be found on the Apple Store, you want to know how it works? Then check out this website and you'll have all the information you need about
it.

2015 "INTERNATIONAL YEAR OF LIGHT"

 

2015 has been set as a year of light all over the world and I think it is a great choice. Reflecting on light, trully it is everywhere; as years have gone by the knowledge in light of the world, as an overall, has improved and it has become a source that's used everywhere all the time that it has even become an unnoticable source.Infact, the world is starting to include light in opening ceremonies , in buildings and in art. Here are some pictures of light in the world:

Light in nature is my most favourite because it is so intriguing and attractive to see how nature can create light in such a colourful way; I love it. It is very unique and it creates a certain overview without anything being touched, to me is see light in nature as a freelance artist that finds inspiration itself.

One thing I'd like to mention is that there will be events around the world that involve this particular theme, as it is an international year of Light. This was launched in Spain a few days ago and this is what the opening ceremony looked like (see below).

There is an event , as far as I am concerned, in the Bath, UK, called "Illuminate 2015" and in this event they lit up a telephone boot and it looked so magnificent and amazing, it started on the 3rd of January and it will end on the 10th of January.
