LIGHT AND LIMINALITY - Review

Online presentation of the first workshop on LIGHT AND LIMINALITY – Here are some examples of the innovative work, inspired by the working philosophies of Ingo Maurer and Massimo and Lella Vignelli: Ariella Knight designed a portable luminaire which helps people with migraines by offering them relief with green light. Zaheer Shujayee developed an additional Lighting device for your smart phone as a personal safety device when walking by oneself in the dark.

LIGHT AND LIMINALITY

Light is an elementary basic need, not only for humans. In this workshop, each student will investigate how these needs can be met, designing a lighting device, considering the ecological dilemma of the 21st century and how the Vignellis or Ingo Maurer possibly would have dealt with these challenges.
