The meaning of light

The Meaning of Light is something I have been working with Fed Square Management on for the past couple of months and it is now with great pleasure that I can spill the beans about what it’s all about.

In June Rafael Lozano-Hemmer will be at Fed Square adding the finishing touches to a brand new light-based visual arts project, one of the most significant visual art projects ever seen in Melbourne.  As part of the Light in Winter festival Electrolight has organised a special event on the main stage at Fed Square – right under Rafael’s installation – The Meaning of Light.

Not only will attendees get to see Rafael’s installation in its final stages of commissioning a day prior to the official launch, attendees will hear from a range of speakers who will each give a short presentation on what light means to them.  The audience will hear from leading figures in the arts (including Rafael himself), photography, architecture, theatre and other design fields who will discuss their love of light, how it influences their world and inspires them.  The presentations will be supported by evocative images rendered large on the giant Fed Square screen.

Afterwards there will be an open forum discussion at Zinc bar.

It’s all going to be very, very cool.

Watch this space for updates over the coming months.

Thursday 3 June 7.00pm start.
