Light in Motion
"A group of designers & engineers working at the cutting edge of technology”
Dezeen
The exhibition brought together a group of innovative artists, designers and engineers exploring light, space, time and movement. Light was used both as medium and subject; thrown around the space, emitted or reflected, used to clarify or distort. The exhibition evoked natural elements, in contrast with the mechanised nature of their construction. The exhibition includes collectable design objects, durational light works and mesmerising installations.
