Understanding and control of light modulation is the objective of the
lighting designer. Understanding how visual perception works can also be
a framework for the understanding and enhancing the vision of other
designers.
Nathan will start with the basics providing some core knowledge that in
his words “help debunk a lot of the mystery that seems to surround
lighting” Leading into a series of hands on experiments with light
modulation.
He will take you through some examples and lead experiments which
demonstrate the principles of light modulation.
You will be making a model, which will fit on a 600mm square. The
intention of the model will be to investigate shadows and reflection,
diffusion and transmission and how those things inform the way we see
things.
So, please bring on day one stuff to make models from: stiff white paper
and board bits of shiny stuff, perforated stuff, coloured stuff, and
transparent stuff, material that might make good shadows, material that
expresses itself differently in different light, material that responds
weirdly to light.
