Less Light is More Light

August 4th – August 10th 2019

The Workshop

In this workshop we are going to design and create a super-ecological and sustainable path lighting between the different houses in and around Boisbuchet's park.

The result could be objects or light sculptures which are made from luminescent low- and high-tech creatures such as phosphorous paint, luminescent mushrooms, or LEDs with photovoltaic cells. You will need to feel out how much light the human eye needs in order to perceive the environment on the one side and how much is tolerated to avoid light pollution on the other.

New concepts and new materials in lighting design are the focus of our workshop.
