In the second of our two videos (see the first here) from the Kinetica Art Fair 2013, we look at how different artists use light in their work. The selection of artists’ work ranges from Titia Ex‘s large spherical sculpture The Walk that contains 5,000 pixels created from 35,000 LED lamps, and displays an ever-changing mosaic of patterns and forms so it looks like a giant rotating orb, to Amy “Rainbow” Winter’s Picasso-inspired sound-reactive dress.Titia Ex’s The Walk.

The artists discuss how light can alter our perception and experience of a space, how it can change a work depending on our proximity to it, and how artificial light can affect our mood, as it radiates and bathes the viewer in an ethereal glow.@stewart23rd
