Interactive Light Prof. Fabian Winkler We still do not know what exactly light is. It appears immaterial to the human eye, yet it renders our world visible. Interactive Light is a course that investigates light's highly ambiguous nature in different fields: fine art, design, architecture, theater, performance and film. Rather than looking at the use of light in each of the above-mentioned areas separately, this class promotes the mix of practices across different disciplines toward the use of light as "inter-medium". Exploring light experimentally and often working with low-budget approaches to lighting, students in this class will work on a variety of different projects, such as: light sculpture, light performance and/or light environments. The course will also provide students with basic technical skills on how to manipulate and control light interactively. In addition, students will research the history of light, which is mainly a history of human perception, technology and society. Key texts addressing these issues will be available in a class reader. Students are required to purchase materials for the class workshops and can expect to buy individual items that are unique to their projects.
