| Summary: | Can Light be Touched?
Our sense of touch defines our tactile experience of physical objects. The experience of light is directed by our visual perception, where this intangible medium can be seen but not touched. Lighting and its spatial conditions have been manoeuvred to give light the appearance of physical form, however, is there a way to induce the “materiality” of light through touch? As an attempt to bridge the differences between perceptual sensibilities of the material and the immaterial, Tactility of Light explores whether light can be physically interacted with through the haptic modality. |
