Illumination



Why is it that Humans have always linked the use of light with magic and wonder? What is about illumination that leads us to ponder on possibility? I am sure that there are many physic based ways to answer these questions.... 

Let us just go back a couple of blogs and thing on Creativity and innovation. My recent visit to the Gold Coast Australia, left me a little speechless when I saw the beach at night, completely illuminated by the high rises and the nightlife within metres of the untouched beach.


I was drawn as if by magic to an unconscious link to the relevance to different technology disciplines and how they could use this context. I have come across a couple of teachers exploring the use of light both within DVC techniques and also the creation of light utilising both negative an positive space. But feel that this is a much untapped area of potential to engage students.

 DVC - Possibilities




I think that when it comes to illumination of a product in a visual presentation it can enhance the potential perception of the viewers to create something ethereal and magical. Have a look at the following garments displayed as wearable art and the way the light has captured the essence.








The possible relation to light and space is important and essentail when thinking about displaying work for visual effect.

I am sure that you could consider food presentation in the same way. I will come back to this in a later blog.
