Advanced ETB: Interactive Light (Fabian Winkler) We still do not know what exactly light is. It appears immaterial to the human eye, yet it renders our world visible. "Interactive Light" is a course that investigates light's highly ambiguous nature in different fields: fine art, design, architecture, theater, performance and film. Exploring light experimentally and often working with low-budget approaches to lighting, students in this class will work on a variety of different projects, such as: light sculpture, light performance and light environments. The course will also provide students with basic technical skills on how to manipulate and control light interactively. In addition students will research the history of light which is mainly a history of human perception, technology and society. Key texts addressing these issues will be available in a class reader. A course material fee is required. In addition, students can expect to purchase individual items that are unique to their projects.
